We want to take things over to storm chaser Aaron Jajak who joins us live from Sioux City, Iowa.
00:06
He's preparing for the massive severe weather outbreaks set to unfold and how are things
00:10
over there? Aaron, what are you preparing for for today?
00:16
Yeah guys, we are here in Sioux City, Iowa. We're on the western fringe of where this threat is
00:21
going to start today. We've got a dry line off to our west, a big deepening low up in the South
00:27
Dakota area and it does look like we are going to be preparing for potentially a regional outbreak,
00:33
a severe weather outbreak, potentially a tornado outbreak. We do have conditions that are going
00:38
to be in place that could bring us long track supercells capable of long track tornadoes that
00:44
are strong to violent. But there are still some questions about storm mode. We're going to be
00:48
watching today on the dry line to see if we get some isolated supercells to form there or perhaps
00:54
that'll become more of a linear line that moves off to the east and we watch for supercells off
00:58
to our east here in Sioux City to form out in this open warm sector that is looking like it's going
01:04
to be very potent today and later this afternoon, late afternoon, into the evening hours. Back to you
01:09
guys. Yeah, Aaron, really quickly we were talking with our severe weather expert Guy Pearson a short
01:14
time ago and he was relaying something I saw. You don't have one piece of energy with this upper low
01:19
coming out. It's multiple pieces, which means there's multiple clusters of thunderstorms.
01:25
You're going to start in the west and just follow or you're going to try to pick a specific area?
01:34
You know, I think my strategy today is going to be actually when we're done with this live,
01:39
I'm going to move a little bit east off the dry line just so I can watch potential for the open warm
01:45
sector storms to form. I want to make sure I can keep up with those. They don't fire off to my east
01:49
and then I'm falling behind and then still be able to watch off back to the west. Watch that
01:54
dry line. Watch for the supercells to form in that dry line potentially marching off to the east as it
01:59
does look like the area where everything is going to come together is going to be more of that north
02:03
central, south central Minnesota area. So a little bit further to the east of where I'm at. But that
02:08
being said, we are in the area, the danger zone for storms today here in Sioux City. This is the extreme
02:14
western edge of where that threat is. So anywhere from here, points to the east and the central
02:19
plains into the Midwest are going to want to make sure they're paying attention to the weather
02:23
today and make sure they're ready to enact their safety plans if they find themselves in a tornado
02:26
warning today. Back to you guys. Absolutely. Yeah, thank you, Aaron J. Jack, live for us in Sioux City,
02:31
Iowa. Busy week ahead, right? A lot of severe weather that we will be tracking as well. We hope
02:35
you stay safe out there and we always look forward to seeing the video you capture as well.
