    Wonder what's taking so long to get final survey on Bassfield EF4. Curious if final width will be greater than 2mi and if they bumped wind speeds up

    Wind speeds already increased to at least 178 mph per DAT data, the path width is more interesting at this point since it's in record territory (already has the state record)

       ...DISCUSSION...
       Models have come into better agreement depicting a shortwave trough
       moving quickly from TX Sunday/D4 morning to GA by 12Z Monday/D5. Low
       pressure is forecast to develop over the Red River during the day
       Sunday, shifting east toward the lower MS Valley by 00Z. Ahead of
       the low, a warm front will lift north across the Gulf Coast states,
       with upper 60s F dewpoints likely into central MS, AL, and GA, with
       low 70s F along the coast. MUCAPE to at least 2000 J/kg is likely by
       18Z from TX into AL, with strong westerly winds aloft and 500 mb
       temperatures on the order of -10 to -12 C. 
    
       Storms are forecast to form relatively early over east TX, where the
       environment will support large hail and damaging winds. Supercells
       are possible initially, with an eventual MCS likely. A tornado or
       two will be possible despite marginal low-level shear. Meanwhile to
       the east, warm advection may support supercells well ahead of the
       MCS across MS, AL, GA, producing a tornado or two along with hail. 
    
       The primary severe risk in terms of coverage will likely be an MCS
       tied to the surface low as it quickly moves along the east-west
       instability gradient across LA, MS, AL and into GA. Significant
       convective feedback is present in the models, supporting the notion
       of a well-defined MCS with damaging winds. While SRH will not be
       very strong initially, it should increase after 00Z, with enhanced
       wind and/or tornado potential. The corridor of maximum threat will
       likely be adjusted in later outlooks.

    I wonder if they can only do the lower bound of DOD10 without a review to determine the actual wind speed. 

    I think to go DOD10 upper bound, they have to bring in another team to survey it. Maybe some local engineers as well.
