Svr Wx Threat Sun 2/26/2023 (KS, OK, TX, MO) & Mon 2/27/2023 (IL/IN/OH)

I spy a little circulation heading into DDC proper. As I type this, the radar data is probably behind enough (or perhaps even in line enough for a hit) to where the circulation might already be clearing the town in real-time.
 
I've noticed that there seems to be some fairly high dewpoint depressions around a good part of the Texas panhandle, which would lead to some similarly high LCLs (at least using surface-based parcels). That could be causing some issues with the Texas storms trying and failing to produce. They should be moving into areas that will be cooler but have lower dewpoint depressions/LCLs. What that will so to tornado chances is something that we'll have to wait and see...

Look at how much wind is in the line of storms up in Kansas. I'm showing speed of over 60 and up to 70 mph from RadarScope.

ETA - Man, it's a lot of ground to cover on radar. I'm having to jump from radar site radar site said to try to watch everything.

With that part of Oklahoma being part of the classic south-western Plains "Tornado Alley," it's a real travesty how piss-poor the radar coverage is. Neither Amarillo, Frederick, Vance or Dodge City can get a good low-level scan there.
I'm running for president in 2028 on a single-issue campaign of building a radar there and in the ArkLaMiss.
