Wrapping-Up February with... Thunder?

It's possible that we'll finish February with a few thunderstorms Tuesday night into early Wednesday morning! A strong upper-level jet will swing into the central and southern Plains on Tuesday night, causing a surface low to strengthen to our west. Although a warm front attached to this low will get very close to the area late Tuesday night, I don't think it will clear us. Therefore, any thunderstorms that develop won't have a whole lot of instability to work with. That's why the Storm Prediction Center out of Norman, OK is predicting (see graph above) the more active, severe storms will stay to our south -- in the "warm sector" of the storm.
