It was in the 20s there on Monday and in the 80s on Wednesday. I wonder if that plays a part in it

Yup. Tornadoes are formed due to atmospheric rotation where high and low pressure meet. Daytime heating has an impact on intensity. I’m north of where the tornadoes hit. An early round of storms got us from 80 to 59. Had lightening, had 50-70 mph gusts. Took out a few business signs. But it probably saved us from any truly terrible damage.
