6z GFS says the TX/OK Panhandles will be an interesting place to be Wednesday. We'll see. It's certainly the only model showing something noteworthy here. The real test will be when NAM gets into range.

The pattern seems hopeless here, storms everywhere but here. Every time it looks like a good signal it trends away from us in the last 24 hours. Wichita is about 5 inches below normal on the year so far and that doesn't include the drought we were in heading into the year. Crazy to think a year ago we had our 2nd wettest May on record.

Tornado occurred at 843pm central (943pm eastern) at about the time of the post seen above. Andy Hill youtube stream said chaser saw a power flash at 8:36 central.

This has been a fascinating weather day.  I thought it was going to be generally uneventful double slight risk, based on yesterday's SPC day-2 outlook

This is the type of pattern that escalate really quickly either way

New day 1. There is a suggestion of a possible slight risk for wind being added for the OH/TN Valley areas.

 Day 1 Convective Outlook  
   NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
   1253 AM CDT Sun May 07 2023

   Valid 071200Z - 081200Z

   ...THERE IS AN ENHANCED RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS FAR
   EASTERN NEBRASKA...EXTREME NORTHEAST KANSAS...MUCH OF IOWA...FAR
   NORTHERN MISSOURI...AND EXTREME WESTERN ILLINOIS...

   ...THERE IS A SLIGHT RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS FOR PORTIONS OF
   NORTHWEST TEXAS INTO FAR SOUTHWEST OKLAHOMA...

   ...SUMMARY...
   Severe storms with very large hail, hurricane force gusts, and
   isolated tornadoes will be possible across parts of the Mid Missouri
   Valley today. Severe wind/hail producing storms will also be
   possible in parts of the central and southern Plains, perhaps
   extending into parts of the southern Great Lakes and Ohio Valley
   into the Tennessee Valley and central Appalachians.

   ...Synopsis...
   An upper ridge will remain in place east of the MS River as a
   mid-level trough slowly traverses the Interior West today. Multiple
   mid-level impulses will crest the ridge through the period,
   supporting the development of multiple MCSs across the Mid MS Valley
   into the OH/TN Valleys and central Appalachians. Meanwhile, surface
   lee troughing and northward low-level moisture advection will
   persist across the Plains states. A dryline will gradually push
   eastward through the afternoon, initiating strong to severe
   thunderstorms in a very unstable environment.

   ...Mid MS Valley...
   Ahead of the surface lee trough, a diffuse warm front will stall
   across eastern NE into IA and western IL by afternoon. Along and
   south of the warm front, mid to upper 60s F surface dewpoints
   overspread by 8.5+ C/km mid-level lapse rates (resulting in over
   4000 J/kg MLCAPE) will characterize the warm sector. Veering and
   strengthening vertical wind profiles along the warm front will also
   support sizable, curved hodographs, especially in central IA. The
   approach of a mid-level impulse and strong surface heating will
   support isolated supercell development by late afternoon along the
   warm front. Very large hail and a few tornadoes will be the initial
   threats with these storms, and a strong (EF2+) tornado cannot be
   ruled out. 

   Around and just after sunset, several thunderstorms are expected to
   initiate along the surface lee trough/warm front intersection in
   eastern NE/extreme northeast KS. While large hail may accompany
   these storms, rapid upscale growth should result in the development
   of an intense MCS, with severe winds becoming the main threat. It is
   possible that a classic bow-echo MCS may develop by evening,
   supporting widespread severe winds (with a few gusts exceeding 65
   kts possible). However, confidence in this scenario is too low for
   the introduction of higher wind probabilities at this time.  

   ...OH/TN Valleys into the central Appalachians...  
   Multiple MCSs will track across areas east of the MS river into the
   OH/TN Valleys through the forecast period. At the start of the day
   (12Z), an MCS is poised to be moving southeast across the OH Valley.
   This MCS will approach the central Appalachians by early afternoon,
   preceded by 6.5-7.5 C/km low-level lapse rates, contributing to
   500-1000 J/kg MLCAPE. Given modest line-normal speed shear, the MCS
   may remain organized enough to produce a couple of damaging gusts
   through the morning/early afternoon hours before dissipating. Latest
   guidance consensus depicts a second MCS developing along the eastern
   fringes of a low-level warm-air advection regime somewhere along the
   MS river into the OH/TN Valley areas by mid-afternoon, when surface
   heating will have boosted surface temperatures to near 80 F amid
   upper 60s F dewpoints, overspread by 8 C/km mid-level lapse rates.
   2500 J/kg SBCAPE amid 30+ kts of effective bulk shear will precede
   this second MCS, supporting a threat for at least isolated damaging
   gusts. The primary mitigating factor for introducing higher wind
   probabilities this outlook over the OH/TN Valleys is the uncertainty
   of placement and timing of the second MCS. 

   ...Southern Plains...
   Rapid thunderstorm development is likely by afternoon peak heating
   ahead of the dryline across portions of western TX. Initial updrafts
   will benefit from over 4000 J/kg MLCAPE, driven by steep low and
   mid-level lapse rates. Effective bulk shear should remain modest
   (i.e. under 30 kts), with multicells and perhaps a few supercells
   likely initially. Large hail will be the main threat early on.
   However, storms should quickly become outflow dominant given weak
   low-level shear, with cold pool mergers anticipated. Upscale growing
   clusters will support severe wind gusts as the primary threat.
   Similar to the previous day, northward surging outflow from decaying
   storms will promote damaging gust potential into southern and
   central OK by evening.

   ...Northern High Plains...
   Boundary-layer mixing and upslope flow along the Black Hills of
   western SD will support thunderstorm development by afternoon peak
   heating. These storms will progress eastward amid 7.5-8.5 C/km
   low-level lapse rates and modest speed shear, contributing to
   elongated, straight hodographs. Any storms that can mature and
   sustain themselves may take on multicellular or transient
   supercellular characteristics with the potential to produce a severe
   gust or two before nocturnal cooling/boundary-layer stabilization
   sets in around sunset.
