Reality is the storms in the past 10 to 15 years have become more often and worse than they used to be.

Now they put everything that happens into "global warming" evidence.
In any event though, serious question, why can't we do something to weaken serious storms?
I live on the coast and whenever anything hits the cold ocean air (which goes in about 26 miles) it falls apart.
Couldn't twister prone states find a way to shoot cold air into the storms to calm them down about 30% and or... keep a twister from touching down? Surely we can come up with something?

Not unprecedented for a Tri State Tornado type event to happen in the area. Another one happened 100 miles north and almost 100 years to this. The climate change connection is it occurring in mid December rather than March or April with dew points fueled by near record warm Gulf water.

Experienced storm chasers in field plus using satellite images believe there was a gap of may 10 miles without a tornado in NW TN. KY side is going to be 160 miles or so long while AR MO TN side is about 70 miles.
Another 100+ mile continuous track is likely from Newbern TN to W of Bowling Green KY. Unreal.
There's a MODERATE weather risk with a 10% hatched risk for tornadoes across most of Iowa and most of southern Minnesota.
Excerpt from the SPC Outlook text:
Quote:
"As the low-level jet deepens to at least 70-80 kt, hodograph curvature ahead of the convective line will be favorable for embedded supercells and QLCS mesovortices with 0-1 km SRH of 300-400 m2/s2. This should result in potential for at least a few tornadoes, mainly after sunset. One or two of these may be strong, particularly across western to northern IA and southeast MN. This threat appears unprecedented for this region this late in the year."
Since 1950 there have been few to no recorded tornadoes in December for much of the higher risk areas.
In over a decade of storm chasing I have never seen such a statement from the SPC on an Outlook.

There have already been 4 tornado warnings across Nebraska. One is just west of Omaha. Another in NE Kansas. I have a feeling its going to be an active evening.

Yes, I was offline for about a half-hour because I was in my hospital's basement. Fortunately the tornadoes went to the north and south of Omaha, and spared the main part of the city. There's been some significant damage (at least one building lost a roof), but overall we were lucky. But there's more to come west of us...
I love the festive sound of tornado sirens during the holiday season - NOT!!! But knock on wood, we have been luckier so far than those poor people down south, so I really can't complain.

Wow. I am in North Central Oklahoma. And it looks like the severe storms are only as far south as Wichita, KS which is 100 miles north. Unless they flare up farther south. But there are tornado warning spanning the entire length of the Nebraska / Iowa state line.
