Just look at the surface-based CAPE forecast for this afternoon! It doesn't get much more extreme than this.
For those of you storm chasing today … You're going to have to be right on top of the storms to see anything. Very low visibility. Dangerous way to chase. #HeadsUp pic.twitter.com/banGQyUDnT— Meteorologist Brian James ⛈ (@BrianJamesWx) June 15, 2023
Potentially dangerous day for parts of Texas and Oklahoma later this afternoon and evening. Any storm that develops will have the potential for very large hail, destructive winds, and tornadoes. Please stay #WeatherAware. #txwx #okwx #SevereWeather pic.twitter.com/npKne2V0mj
