We looked at the 500 mb chat for today. We located the jet stream. On the surface map we located a wave cyclone over Texas and the Great Plains with warm air moving north from the Golf of Mexico and warm front located above Oklahoma. We compared the surface map with the CAPE chart as well as with the due point tempreatures chart. Kansas has tornado warning for tornado movin in unusually high speed of 70 mph.
