Probably thread worthy given the huge d3 enhanced covering a lot of the southern sub, and the slight risk all the way into MI. Interesting that the SPC keeps mentioning the significant hail probs as almost the primary risk with this event. Just rare to see this far east I feel.
I can start a thread for Sunday tomorrow if it looks to continue the uptrend around the area. Saw a gif of the GFS actually trending towards the ukmet solution which is concerning
It's the chatbot on Twitter ("x"), https://x.com/i/grok. Not sure if it's accessible without an account, but in my experience it's pretty similar skillwise to deepseek/chatgpt, although I haven't used it to do analysis on data like that.

excellent thread by cameron nixon on why this storm mode may be more supportive of long-track tors than a purely supercellular one
IMO, this could be cause enough for a high risk at 1630z
Looks as though the lead shortwave that was supposed to "scrub out" some moisture from south and limit northwards moisture advection for friday isn't as strong as forecast
Looks as though the first trough next week isn't going to be as strong as was thought earlier, and therefore the next (much more potent system) has more moisture to work with farther north. Also, depending on the timing the trough progression, I could see Saturday also being a decent severe wx day in the eastern bit of the sub, and into the midatlantic

Someone ran a WRF model on GFS initial conditions for Friday. Take with (many) grains of salt, but still interesting
Driving back home from MI, ground was basically completely bare the whole way, though there was a dusting just N of Ft Wayne, where a pretty strong band had been sitting for a little bit. Flurries from Lansing to there basically, but nothing was sticking really. Hoping to bag some 70s this week before a return to the frozen north.
Ensemble support as well for a *potential* severe outbreak in the SE and S Ohio River Valley. Will obviously have to watch how this evolves, but seeing SCP values this high 200+ hours out on the gefs is surprising
