Similar to yesterday, a classic northwesterly flow MCS setup is in place across the northern Missouri River Valley, characterized by very weak low-level shear, high CAPE, and a diffuse surface pattern.  Outflow boundaries from last night's convection will likely also be a focus for convective initiation this afternoon/evening.  Also similar to yesterday, the tornado chances will be small, and the tornado warnings will once again far exceed the actual reports (most of which will be false).  Still though, storm interactions with outflow boundaries may aid in a few brief tornadoes, especially this evening as a weak LLJ kicks in.  Stay tuned for updates!
