Tuesday could be a very active day for severe weather from Kansas to north Texas.
From NWS SPC:
AN INTENSE...NEGATIVELY TILTED TROUGH WILL EJECT INTO THE PLAINS
DURING THE AFTERNOON/EVENING...SPREADING A 60+ KT SOUTHWESTERLY
MIDLEVEL JET OVER THE REGION. A STRONG CAP SHOULD PREVENT ANY
EARLY-DAY CONVECTION DESPITE SOME WEAK IMPULSES POTENTIALLY MOVING
ACROSS THE AREA AHEAD OF THE MAIN IMPULSE. THERE IS STILL SOME
UNCERTAINTY REGARDING THE LOCATION OF CRITICAL SURFACE FEATURES SUCH
AS THE LOW AND ATTENDANT N-S ORIENTED DRYLINE AND W-E ORIENTED WARM
FRONT. HOWEVER...IT SEEMS REASONABLE AT THIS TIME THAT THE DRYLINE
WILL EXTEND SOUTHWARD ACROSS W-CENTRAL KS INTO WESTERN OK AND
W-CENTRAL TX. THE WARM FRONT LIKELY WILL RESIDE OVER NRN KS EARLY
AND LIFT NORTHWARD INTO SRN NEB DURING THE LATE AFTERNOON/EARLY
EVENING. SURFACE DEWPOINTS IN THE MID 60S TO NEAR 70 DEGREES F
COUPLED WITH VERY STEEP LAPSE RATES WILL RESULT A STRONGLY UNSTABLE
AIRMASS CAPABLE OF PRODUCING SUPERCELLS WITH VERY LARGE /PERHAPS
GIANT/ HAIL. BACKED LOW LEVEL WINDS...ESPECIALLY NEAR THE TRIPLE
POINT...WILL FURTHER SUPPORT TORNADO POTENTIAL /SOME OF WHICH COULD
BE STRONG AND/OR LONG-TRACKED/. AS IS TYPICAL WITH STRONG
SUPERCELLS...DAMAGING WINDS ALSO WILL BE POSSIBLE.
Cozy post-rain smell Friday evening. Saturday morning was mild and cloudy. Clouds lifted and got replaced with the deep blue skies and very dry air that we've had in the last week excluding the more summer-like Friday. With a strong north wind.
You can see how Friday was more humid but about the same temperature as Thursday. Friday had a sudden temperature drop with rain but dewpoint plateaued and dewpoint fell over all Saturday as dry, cold continental air filtered in but temperatures didn't drop till around sunset due to solar heating.
