I need to get on the road. At a glance, today's setup looks to be a haystack needle hunt with a few clues where the needles will be. Multiple rounds of thunderstorms will complicate precision forecasting so ATTM (at the moment) I'm biased toward the western fringe of the STP (Significant Tornado Parameter) from North of Dallas arcing around into east Texas around that cold pool / early overturning (should that verify).

Overturning is a neato term we use to describe thunderstorm activity in the atmosphere. Storms bring warm air up and cool air down. That white donut hole on the STP run is cool air at the surface from a large storm complex earlier. That could mean no tornadoes there later.

Let me know if there are any confirmed tornado reports or casualties, or any other important data. I'm usually in the dark intel-wise holding onto that steering wheel all day.

Happy New Year Jungle chasers!
