850-500mb Shear - GFS
Generally values of 10 knots + would be required for a tornadic producing environment. The 6km Shear parameter is a vector shear parameter which considers both speed and direction. This is crucial for determining storm mode as well as support for tornadoes. Values above 30 would support both of these things. The higher the better. 50+ would be outstanding.
