· 2026-09-30T20:36:48+00:00The evident SW shift is occurring based on live observations. With the surface low and clear slow further SW, I wouldn't be surprised to see some tornadoes closer to the low. KICT shows the wind profile along the WF where the sfc winds are backed!
AI visual note: This is a KICT VWP (Velocity Azimuth Display Wind Profile) radar image valid 30 Sep 2026 04 UTC, showing storm motion parameters including a mean wind of 208/39 kts and storm motion (SM) of 228/30 kts, with a critical angle of 62°. The image supports the post's observation by showing significant low-level backed surface winds (140/11 at KICT), creating strong low-level wind shear (SRH values of 195-316 m²/s²) that, combined with the southwesterly shift in storm motion, suggests favorable conditions for tornadic development near the surface low.
