Tornadoes

Today there is the possibility for developing tornadoes in the middle United States. This is because the high pressure system located in the midwest is causing dry winds to shoot towards states such as Kansas, and Nebraska. These dry winds combined with the moist air coming up from the continental tropical air mass and the jet stream from the west will cause a lot of mixing of air which will provide the perfect opportunity for tornadoes to form.

In the midwest we have no wind, no clouds. However, I expect that throughout the day we can expect to see more cloud coverage moving in from the west because since the High pressure system is tour our south east, we will be getting winds from the west-which you can see on the map below has clouds and some rain showers. Another reason I am led to believe that it will rain later is because the barometric pressure is dropping, which means we can expect precipitation.
