Cold core tornadoes in Oklahoma

The upper level storm system out in the Plains produced at least one photogenic tornado captured by stormchasers today in a cold core setup, meaning an upper level cold pool of air created enough instability coupled with the vorticity - "spin" - from the tightly wrapped low pressure system to create tornadic conditions. That same storm system is headed east and will drag moisture and some instability into the Mid-Atlantic later this week. The GFS model is still indicating some potential for thunder Friday altho' the potential continues to jump around from run to run. Will there be the first chase of 2010 this week? Don't know for sure yet, but it beats waiting out another snow storm!
