In keeping with the “under the radar” theme of today: Just issued watch is 90-70 for MS, AR, and LA. A little surprised the initial watch across the moderate risk area in MS isn’t PDS. SPC said last year that the significant tornado percentage in the watch has to be 80% or higher to warrant the PDS language. Won’t derail the thread with the language discussion, but I think it’s worth debating at some point whether that language should be reserved for set-ups where several significant tornadoes are likely, which is what SPC says it’s for, or if we should use for it set-ups where, even if there aren’t “several,” there could still be 1-2 violent long-track tornadoes.

That’s part of why I’m surprised this thread hasn’t taken off yet. This could be a big event!
