Sunday was a down day for us, with storms predicted but not until midnight and even the Tornadic Wind And Thunderstorm Seekers need sleep. Sunday then was a bit of sightseeing and recharging our batteries for a big day on Monday.

Waking up to the forecast for Monday made our rest day on Sunday seem even more prudent, the SPC has issued a high risk for severe thunderstorms and long track severe Tornadoes.

Tornado probability for Monday

Severe storm outlook

A high risk area is pretty rare and definitely makes it clear that we need to be extremely cautious when chasing today. There will be Tornadoes somewhere, the question is whether the conditions are too risky to get in close enough to see something, it’s definitely safety first today.
