Incredible scene in Kansas City right now! Bikers from across the metro are joining with three men who have biked all the way from Argentina to KC. It’s been a 10 month, 10,500 mile journey that ends today at the Argentina team hotel. @kmbc

I’m hearing some unconfirmed reports that a group of chasers got kicked out of a Casey’s in McCook, Nebraska a short time ago! Come on people! Be better than that!!! (Also @LovesTravelStop would never)

[Grant Leighty @grant_leighty]

@baugh_elliot @LovesTravelStop Can I get the location of that Casey’s so I never go to it? I think McCook has more than one Casey’s .

@ChasingWConnor I don’t see a problem with the way he passed the car. Wtf is he complaining about. I’ve seen much worse out there.

One of several tornadoes I caught today in southeast Iowa! Great to be back on the board after a long quiet stretch!

📌Riverside, IA

I was SURE this thing was going to plant a well-condensed tornado in Pontiac. It quickly lost its visible structure and was visually unimpressive… until it got to Kankakee…

Everyone moving their chasecation to June after 2025 just to be sitting in the Sandhills under scorching 700s and a blown out windshield from Chugwater the day before

[Brad Arnold @BradArnoldWX]

The ceiling for the Tuesday tornado threat is incredibly high…

[Jordan Hall @JordanHallWX]

Here we go again the @NWSSPC has put out an enhanced risk for significant severe weather today from southern Iowa into Northeast Texas. Strong tornadoes, large hail and damaging winds will be the main threat as a crashing cold front sweeps Kansas.

The 12Z Euro freezing rain & sleet expected over a large area from TX-SC.
Expect a crippling to catastrophic event.
Power outages likely over a large area!!
