We are discussing tornadoes, the jet stream and the Bank Holiday forecast, but ask us anything about weather. . #Live #Weather #BankHoliday #JetstreamVery dangerous, strong and long lived tornadoes are expected to break out across the US later on Monday ⚠️🌪 . Parts of Texas and Oklahoma and covered by the highest level of warning. . Local meteorologists suggest the atmosphere is primed for the worst case of tornadoes since 2011. . Hot, moist air at ground level from the Gulf of Mexico is heading north over Texas and mixing with cooler air that is higher up that has come over the Rocky mountains to make the atmosphere very unstable and create the storms. . Very large hail, flash floods and very strong winds are also anticipated and will cause disruption to infrastructure and travel. .
