  1. Current Day 3 SPC outlook: SPC AC 130703 Day 3 Convective Outlook NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 0203 AM CDT Fri Apr 13 2018 Valid 151200Z - 161200Z ...THERE IS A SLIGHT RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS THE SOUTHEAST... ...THERE IS A MARGINAL RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS EXTENDING NORTH INTO THE MIDDLE ATLANTIC... ...SUMMARY... Strong thunderstorms, some severe, will spread across the Southeast and parts of the Middle Atlantic Sunday. ...Discussion... Significant large-scale forcing is expected to spread across portions of the Southeast and Middle Atlantic region during the day3 period as strong mid-level flow translates into this region. Latest model guidance suggest a pronounced surface front will surge into GA/FL Panhandle early in the period then into the lee of the Appalachians Sunday evening. Frontal forcing is expected to aid a significant squall line along the wind shift as it advances east, aided by mid-level height falls. Strong shear profiles will support organized updrafts but the primary storm mode should be linear due to frontal forcing. Greatest buoyancy is expected to extend as far north as southern GA into coastal SC and there is some concern that a few discrete storms could evolve ahead of the front across this region. Have focused 15% severe probs for areas of potentially more instability where isolated supercells may evolve in addition to a linear MCS. Farther north across the Middle Atlantic, low severe probs should suffice where forecast buoyancy is expected to be considerably weaker. Even so, a strongly sheared forced squall line should advance across portions of NC/VA. Damaging winds are the primary threat with this convection. ..Darrow.. 04/13/2018
  2. The NAM seems to be very bullish for Sunday's event. Taken verbatim, anything that develops ahead of the squall line would certainly be capable of producing tornadoes.
  3. D4 severe risk for VA down into FL Day 4-8 Convective Outlook NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 0336 AM CDT Thu Apr 12 2018 Valid 151200Z - 201200Z ...DISCUSSION... Latest runs of the medium-range models are exhibiting fairly considerable differences from one another with eastward progression of an eastern U.S. cold front Day 4/Sunday. The differences in handling of synoptic features become even more pronounced beyond, as the next Pacific trough enters/crosses the U.S. in the Day 5-8 time frame. Despite the Day 4 variability in the models, it is apparent that an ongoing line/band of storms will progress steadily eastward across the Appalachians early in the day, and then continue east across the Atlantic Coast states. While warm-sector instability remains a substantial uncertainty -- in part due to variability in the speed of the frontal advance toward the coast -- the kinematic environment will support organized convection. As such, will introduce a 15% area extending from parts of Virginia south to Florida, with damaging wind likely to be the predominant severe risk until frontal convection moves offshore.

SEL8 URGENT - IMMEDIATE BROADCAST REQUESTED Tornado Watch Number 18 NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 1240 PM EDT Tue Mar 20 2018 The NWS Storm Prediction Center has issued a * Tornado Watch for portions of Southeast Georgia Coastal South Carolina Coastal Waters * Effective this Tuesday afternoon and evening from 1240 PM until 700 PM EDT. * Primary threats include... A few tornadoes and a couple intense tornadoes possible Scattered large hail and isolated very large hail events to 2 inches in diameter possible Scattered damaging wind gusts to 70 mph possible SUMMARY...Scattered to numerous storms are expected to develop across the coastal plain this afternoon ahead of a cold front. Some of these should be severe with a risk for tornadoes, large hail, and damaging wind. The tornado watch area is approximately along and 55 statute miles east and west of a line from 35 miles south southeast of Waycross GA to 55 miles north northeast of Charleston SC. For a complete depiction of the watch see the associated watch outline update (WOUS64 KWNS WOU8). PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS... REMEMBER...A Tornado Watch means conditions are favorable for tornadoes and severe thunderstorms in and close to the watch area. Persons in these areas should be on the lookout for threatening weather conditions and listen for later statements and possible warnings. && OTHER WATCH INFORMATION...CONTINUE...WW 17... AVIATION...Tornadoes and a few severe thunderstorms with hail surface and aloft to 2 inches. Extreme turbulence and surface wind gusts to 60 knots. A few cumulonimbi with maximum tops to 450.

A few tornadoes likely with a couple intense tornadoes possible Scattered large hail likely with isolated very large hail events to 2.5 inches in diameter possible Scattered damaging wind gusts to 70 mph likely SUMMARY...Scattered severe storms are expected through this afternoon, capable of producing tornadoes, large hail, and damaging winds. The tornado watch area is approximately along and 75 statute miles either side of a line from 60 miles west northwest of Jacksonville FL to 35 miles west southwest of Avon Park FL.

  6. Just thought I'd put this here... https://mobile.twitter.com/NWSWakefieldVA/status/953365789930909698
  7. We'd be talking a greater threat if it weren't for the meager instability. Looks to be another case of a low CAPE/high shear event, but to be expected for this time of year, of course.
  8. I'm bout ready for a warmer pattern. No snow, no cold! Bring on the thunda!
  9. So are most of the models showing nada for the New Years "storm" too?
  10. Why don't y'all just look at the positives in life. At least we got the cold!
  11. Wow, this escalated pretty quickly for my area. I was only expecting an inch but it seems I could get 3+ inches now. Although it could go the other way around...
