The GFS and HRRR are rather split on today's threat in Nebraska, with the GFS saying "nothing to see here" as far as tornadoes are concerned. The HRRR calls for a conditional window of possible SigTor activity from 21z-00z in southeastern NE.

Wow, this system is a tornado producing machine around the proximity of the surface low.

Timmer with a large tornado otg on his stream at the moment.

Related to his stream, I am really sick of the dude moderating that always cuts into his feed. Super annoying

Big wedge!

lots of little couplets popping up along that line

Timmer was just in the tornado. I'm not sure if they made it without getting rolled. Also was 2 other vehicles ahead of him that were impacted

Edit: Looks like Reed and company are fine. 2 vehicles recklessly sped around him directly into the tornado as he was deploying the ground spikes.

So sweet! I wish I was chasing that today. I’m excited to see the data and photography shots from the Reed team.

Silver Creek, NE storm is tightening up.

Wouldn’t be surprised if this cell becomes tornadic, it’s pretty isolated from the rest of the ongoing convection
