    I think this might be the first day one high risk day with two non-contiguous high risk areas. At least I can't find any others.

     

    april 14, 2012 out on the high plains. april 13's day 2 featured two separate high risks and then april 14 started out with two before they eventually became one.

       Areas affected...portions of southeastern Iowa...northwestern
       Illinois...and far northeastern Missouri
    
       Concerning...Outlook upgrade 
    
       Valid 311537Z - 311630Z
    
       SUMMARY...Portions of the Moderate Risk over southeastern IA,
       northwestern IL, and far northeastern MO will be upgraded to a
       categorical High Risk in the 1630 UTC Convective outlook.
    
       DISCUSSION...An upgrade to a tornado-driven High Risk (30%
       probability) is expected for the 1630 UTC outlook. Environmental
       conditions are quickly becoming favorable to support the potential
       for numerous strong to potentially violent and long-track tornadoes
       across portions of southeastern IA, northwestern IL, and far
       northeastern MO. Please see the forthcoming Day 1 outlook update for
       more information.

    Area Forecast Discussion
    National Weather Service Memphis TN
    553 PM CST Mon Nov 28 2022
    
    ...New AVIATION...
    
    .DISCUSSION...
    (This evening through next Sunday)
    Issued at 336 PM CST Mon Nov 28 2022
    
    A potential high-end severe weather event remains on track to
    impact the Midsouth on Tuesday and Tuesday night. Tornadoes, a
    few strong and long-lived, will be possible.
    
    Low level moisture and instability will surge north through the
    lower MS River valley Tuesday morning, in advance of a deepening
    upper level longwave trof over the Great Plains. Initial round of
    late morning/early afternoon storms will likely root in an elevated
    layer, associated with a 925mb warm front surging north from the
    Arklamiss. These storms will likely present a marginal severe
    threat in the early afternoon, with midlevel lapse rates of 6.5
    C/km accompanying MUCAPE below 300 J/KG.
    
    The potential for storms to become rooted in a near-surface layer
    will increase mid to late afternoon, aided by modest surface
    heating and dewpoints rapidly warming into the mid/upper 60s.
    During this period, convection-allowing model (CAM) consensus
    depicts 850mb wind increasing from 40 to 60 KTs, elongating
    hodographs and increasing 0-3km helicity to values in excess of
    500 m2/s2.
    
    Uncertainty remains regarding the extent and timing of low level
    inversion erosion in the absence of strong surface heating. This
    will largely determine the northward extent of the tornado threat
    in the late afternoon, prior to steep midlevel height falls.
    
    While some uncertainty remains regarding the onset timing of
    surface-based convection and associated tornado threat, the
    parameter space will become quite concerning by early Tuesday
    evening, aided by CAPE in excess of 1000 J/kg and steep height
    falls and strongly bowed hodographs. Low LCLs (cloud bases) and
    storm movement in excess of 60 mph will make for particularly
    dangerous convective environment, where tornadic storms appear to
    arrive suddenly, preceded by little if any visual or audible
    notice. Definitely a time to keep a weather radio with battery
    backup and a fully-charged cell phone nearby.
    
    Beyond Tuesday`s severe event, generally quiet weather is
    forecast from through the upcoming weekend, under fast zonal flow
    aloft. A northern branch upper low will pass through the Great
    Lakes on on Saturday, modestly depressing midlevel heights over
    the Midsouth and aiding the passage of a Pacific cold front. A few
    showers will accompany the frontal passage, with only limited
    chances for thunder.

    low lcls + fast storm motion + strong tornadoes + nighttime + lack of general awareness is never what you want to see.

  7. Mesoscale Discussion 1917
       NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
       1128 AM CDT Fri Nov 04 2022
    
       Areas affected...southeastern Oklahoma across north-central and
       northeastern Texas
    
       Concerning...Severe potential...Tornado Watch likely 
    
       Valid 041628Z - 041730Z
    
       Probability of Watch Issuance...95 percent
    
       SUMMARY...Potential for severe/supercell storms is expected to
       gradually increase into the afternoon.  All-hazards severe risk is
       expected, including likelihood for for significant tornadoes,
       widespread damaging winds, and large hail.  A tornado watch will
       likely be required by early afternoon.
    
       DISCUSSION...Latest radar loop shows convection increasing in
       coverage/intensity along an advancing cold front now stretching from
       southeastern Kansas across central and southwestern Oklahoma and
       into western North Texas.  Ahead of the front/frontal convection, a
       moistening boundary layer is indicated, with mid 60s dewpoints into
       southeastern Oklahoma and low 70s dewpoints now spreading toward the
       Dallas/Fort Worth Metroplex.
    
       The low-level moistening is occurring beneath a rather substantial
       capping inversion, revealed by the recent 15Z FWD RAOB, and which
       extends across the warm sector as suggested by the character of the
       low cloudiness as revealed by recent visible satellite imagery. 
       This cloudiness will continue to retard heating, and thus low-level
       destabilization, over the next several of hours, but cooling aloft
       -- associated with the advancing upper system -- will allow gradual
       airmass destabilization, particularly above 700mb.
    
       Weak warm-advection-induced showery convection indicated across the
       warm sector continues to gradually increase, with some small/higher
       reflectivity cores beginning to become apparent.  Expect a gradual
       ramp-up in this convection to continue -- with eventual growth into
       cellular/lightning-producing cells as cooling aloft continues within
       the capping layer and above.  
    
       Once deep convection becomes established, rapid intensification to
       severe levels is expected, as very favorable shear -- provided by
       low-level southerly flow veering to south-southwesterly and
       increasing to 50 kt at around 1km along with additional veering
       above -- resides across the warm sector.  Risk for
       strong/significant tornadoes will then ensue, as storms acquire
       strong rotation.  Large hail and locally damaging winds are also
       expected.
    
       Risk for damaging winds will likely increase later this afternoon
       and beyond, as convection strengthens linearly along the front with
       time, likely merging gradually with pre-frontal cellular convection
       to evolve into a well-developed squall line by early evening.  This
       anticipated evolution will likely require tornado watch issuance
       within the next hour or two, extending eastward across southeastern
       Oklahoma and North Texas toward the Arklatex region.

  8. moderate for tornadoes and hail, spc seems to think that nw texas and sw oklahoma will see some discrete supercells due to lack of convection this AM

     ...THERE IS A MODERATE RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS FOR PARTS OF
       NORTHWEST TEXAS AND THE SOUTHEAST TEXAS PANHANDLE...SOUTHWEST
       OKLAHOMA...
    
       ...SUMMARY...
       Numerous severe thunderstorms are expected across parts of the
       southern Great Plains this afternoon through tonight.  A few strong
       tornadoes and giant hail is most probable across the southeast Texas
       Panhandle into portions of southwest Oklahoma and north Texas.
    
       ...Southern Great Plains...
       Complicated forecast today/tonight as a broad/destabilizing warm
       sector enlarges as a warm front advances northward today. 
       Considerable forecast uncertainty remains evident for a multitude of
       possible scenarios, some of which differ both spatially in terms of
       severe hazard and intensity.  Nonetheless, with the lack of morning
       convection across northwest TX into the TX Panhandle, thinking is
       this area will remain void of convection through the midday/early
       afternoon.  Consequently, it seems a categorical Moderate Risk is
       warranted for dryline/triple point storms. 
    
       Visible-satellite imagery late this morning shows a cirrus canopy
       across much of the outlook area.  A warm front is rapidly moving
       northward across north TX with upper 60s F dewpoints reaching the
       Red River as of 16z.  A destabilizing boundary layer beneath a
       capping inversion, which seems likely to hold through the early
       afternoon, will become quite unstable by peak heating with 3000-4000
       J/kg MLCAPE forecast over northwest TX by 4pm.  The RAP/HRRR seems
       to have the best handle on morning storm activity compared to the
       ARW and associated CAM models.  In general, model guidance indicates
       storms will develop over the TX Panhandle during the mid-late
       afternoon with more widely spaced thunderstorms farther south along
       the dryline.  Very steep 700-500 mb lapse rates, enlarged low-level
       hodographs via easterly component to low-level flow, and long
       hodographs all suggest discrete supercells will be the preferred
       mode over the TX Panhandle into northwest TX late this afternoon. 
       Very large to giant hail (potentially 3+ inches in diameter) and a
       few strong tornadoes are possible during the late afternoon into the
       early evening as this activity moves into parts of western OK/far
       western north TX.  Less certain but a plausible scenario involves
       free warm sector development farther east across parts of OK and
       perhaps north TX.  A potentially significant tornado risk could
       develop if discrete supercells were to develop within an
       increasingly moist/strongly sheared environment during the late
       afternoon/early evening.  
    
       By early to mid evening, the strengthening of a southerly LLJ and
       coalescing of storms/outflow will probably lead to the development
       of a severe MCS moving east across parts of OK.  Severe gusts,
       possibly greater than 65 kt, and tornadoes will become the primary
       severe hazards with time.  As this activity approaches the western
       part of the Ozarks, a lessening in the severe risk is anticipated
       late overnight.
    
       ...Southeast VA and the Carolinas...
       Not much change from the previous forecast in the overall
       thunderstorm scenario for VA/Carolinas.  A low-amplitude shortwave
       trough over the Lower Great Lakes will move east into southern New
       England this evening. To the south of this wave, a cold front will
       push southeast across the Lower Mid-Atlantic into the Carolinas.
       Convergence along the cold front and coastal sea breezes should
       support scattered thunderstorms this afternoon. While deep-layer
       shear will be modest, it should be adequate for multicells capable
       of isolated severe hail and damaging winds. Convection should
       largely shift offshore and/or weaken after dusk.
