If we do see temps and dew points near 60 tomorrow evening, the tornado threat concerns me. Extreme wind shear and low LCLs, not good. The biggest question is how the remaining snow will modify surface conditions. Maybe not much given the extreme mixing/wind. pic.twitter.com/wootu3jTIb
Extremely critical #fire#weather conditions are expected tomorrow afternoon as winds increase to 30-45 mph with very low relative humidity from the high plains of NM and CO into central KS and southern NE. (1/3) pic.twitter.com/SaYFrgraVN

The warning actually says to "expect wind gusts in excess of 75mph" and "widespread power outages".
We're getting something similar in Colorado. The NWS says,
Wind in these areas (Denver and others) will blow 30 to 50 mph with gusts between 60 and 80 mph. Wind-prone places in and near the foothills may see gusts as strong as 100 mph, the NWS reports.
It looks like I should bring the lawn furniture indoors. [Reply]

This may be an inland tropical storm. Not Derecho. Have not heard that term used.
Dont forget to posts reports here.
They said last night that the damage will likely be nearly indistinguishable from a derecho. A derecho is an outflow boundary on a thunderstorm complex.
This is low pressure, sustained winds FED by an outflow boundary. They said we could have 80-100mph winds sustained for an hour.
This is actually setup WORSE than the August 2020 derecho for us. [Reply]

Yes they just cancelled school here in gc. Get to sleep in!
Three years ago one of our barns jumped the tree row and landed in our back yard. Hopefully that doesn’t happen again. A 12 x 40 barn makes a hell of a crash! [Reply]
