    Shear vectors look close to parallel to the boundary once again, but those forecast wind fields are nothing to snooze on. I’d expect a similar outcome to the last event, but possibly a bit more widespread in terms of wind damage. Tornado potential, not much confidence beyond the QLCS threat, but it only takes one. (Remember New Orleans…)

    Yes, all it takes is one

    Regardless, I'm not nearly as bullish as the SPC here. Definitely looks like a major damaging wind event though, soundings show plenty of wind transferring down to the surface. We could even see a High Wind Warning as well for the area

    Yes, wind gusts could reach Hurricane Force in the OV, & Thunderstorm gusts could reach 100 mph, that's why they've put up a very large Hatched area & Moderate risk for that, they may need to upgrade to a High Risk for destructive wind gusts between 90 & 100 mph.

    Might as well call this the new Tornado Alley at this point. I'm just not sold on a legit QLCS tornado outbreak, very atypical despite awesome parameters. I saw this a lot while living in the Great Lakes, we'd have some powerhouse low roll through with out of this world dynamics, yet at the end of the day a line is a line. We'd get a ton of wind reports, but so often the tornado threat would lack considerably.

    The New Tornado Alley? This area is already a tornado alley. It's named Dixie Alley, & Dixie Alley has characteristics that are way different compared to Tornado Alley.

  4. No change in placement of the Slight Risk since Yesterday, this is the SPC Discussion on this: 

    Broad cyclonic flow is expected to be in place across the CONUS on
       D4/Thursday morning. Several shortwave troughs will be embedded
       within this larger upper trough, with the lead wave expected to move
       from the upper OH Valley northeastward through the Mid-Atlantic and
       Northeast early during the day. Another wave will follow quickly in
       the wake of the first, moving across the OH Valley and Mid-Atlantic.
       The evolution of this second wave will encourage the eastward
       progression of a cold front through the Mid-Atlantic. Modest
       buoyancy and strong wind fields support the potential for damaging
       wind gusts with storms along and ahead of this front.

    Uh oh

    Day 4-8 Convective Outlook CORR 1
       NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
       0434 AM CDT Sun Mar 27 2022
    
       Valid 301200Z - 041200Z
    
       CORRECTED FOR WORDING
    
       ...SEVERE WEATHER OUTBREAK POSSIBLE ON D4/WED...
    
       ...DISCUSSION...
       An appreciable severe-weather risk appears increasingly likely
       across the Lower Mississippi Valley and Middle Gulf Coast region on
       Wednesday/Day 4. This includes the potential for widespread damaging
       winds and tornadoes, including the possibility of a regional tornado
       outbreak including strong (EF2+) tornadoes.
    
       On Wednesday, an increasingly moist air mass is expected across the
       region ahead of an upper-level trough that will take on an
       increasingly negative tilt, with very strong deep-layer/low-level
       winds coincident with a modestly unstable air mass. The potential
       for extensive early day precipitation/cloud cover ahead of the cold
       front casts some uncertainty in terms of destabilization details,
       particularly with northward extent into the Tennessee and Ohio River
       Valleys. Regardless, the extremely strong wind fields are concerning
       for the potential for long-lived supercells/fast-moving bowing
       segments where modest destabilization does occur. The
       most-concerning severe-favorable ingredients currently appear most
       probable across sizable portions of Louisiana, Mississippi, and
       Alabama. 

    Very strong wording from the SPC :yikes:

  7. The GFS has been abnormally consistent with this storm, & Mike Ventrice has his concerning forecast for those areas March 29th & 30th. 

     

    Some models are having trouble with the exact dates, but there is strong consistency of the event ending on March 30th, so I've put down March 27th-30th until we get a better visual on this.
