If you
compare this to the SPC tornado prediction maps you see how difficult it is to predict tornadoes and how they
changed
their predictions throughout the day.
Now look at the SPC tornado prediction maps from the day. If you used
just this for determining your target location for chasing it would have
made it difficult to know where to go.

Now look at the soundings from the
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE NORTH PLATTE NE - Looks very interesting when you see
the low level shear.

Here are the surface maps that add more light to the days tornadoes.

srfc0110 The Srh shear numbers for
the day.
Upper air maps were as follows at 0000z

Predicting tornado touchdown locations hours ahead is very difficult as
this day has shown. |
