Yeah and this guy doesn't just hype things up. I haven't said anything to anybody. He just came up to me out of the blue hahaha

At the very least, you would expect a strong squall line with few spin ups. Thus far, modelling isn't really screaming significant tornado outbreak next week.

From NWS Jackson AFD:

A brief rebound in shortwave ridging after the weekend system will lower rain chances until Tuesday, but can't rule out some rain in that time. The West Coast trough should break down over the weekend and the overall pattern become more progressive. A low pressure system deepening out of this trough is then expected to dig and spin over the Southern Plains early in the week. Timing and spacing of the features is uncertain for that kind of pattern this far out, but it will likely result in a stronger frontal system crossing the region. More robust guidance solutions support a cold front squall line scenario on Tuesday. Explicit instability values are low this far in advance, but greater moistening (dew points over 65) and flow resulting in better wind shear may bring a chance for more organized thunderstorm development or even severe weather to our area on Tuesday.

These iffy mid-range events are classic +enso fall/winter. Typically, the environment is wet and warm enough; the hard part is getting the southern and northern streams to phase, which tends to be both rare (especially in +enso) and hard to predict.
