Kate’s friend, Javi (Anthony Ramos), is set to test a groundbreaking new tracking system. There, she meets Tyler Owens (played by Glen Powell), a social-media superstar who thrives on posting his storm-chasing adventures.
As storm season intensifies, Kate, Tyler, and their rival teams find themselves squarely in the paths of multiple storm systems converging over central Oklahoma, and they fight for their lives.

While Kate doesn’t share the same last name as Bill and Jo, it can also be speculated that she might not have any blood relationship with them; instead, she could be one of Jo’s students.
Kate has a lot in common with Jo, but this dilemma will only be cleared after the film is released in the theaters.
Even if she doesn’t turn out to be the biological heir to Jo’s legacy, she will undoubtedly continue her work as a storm-chaser.
