Very close. Picher now though is a literal ghost town so there won't be that much there to hit unlike the last time, heh

It's a really strong couplet but I haven't seen any confirmation that it's on the ground.
Funnel reported 1/3rd way down with storm near Wichita.
Still no tornado warning 10 minutes later.

That storm near Tulsa is gonna get really close to the radar.
Confirmed tornado now.

Looks like it's making a beeline for Baxter Springs, KS. They got hit hard in 2014.

Big one too. Low cone/wedge just W of Picher. Headed right for Treece which is also a ghost town.

Worth noting, the Picher cell and east Tulsa cell are now VERY isolated and large, while the cells to the north are smaller and more clustered. These two cells might be the storms of the day given the upcoming LLJ and the lack of competition.

Major TDS north of Treece.

There are some discrete-ish storms starting to form further north in MO too and trying to rotate.

LLJ kicking in is gonna cause some issues if cells can keep going well after dark

Ironically, today is the 8th anniversary of the Joplin EF5. Hope Joplin doesn’t get hit by a tornado tonight.

TOR warning for Joplin now.

Looks to pass just north of the city itself but wew it's going to be close. They're dead center in the warning polygon.

the polygon looks misplaced to me, too far to the south

Yeah. It's gonna go north of the city center but there is heavy population there.
