I think the NE part was more for NE of us? Day 3 Convective Outlook NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 0225 PM CDT Fri Mar 14 2025 Valid 161200Z - 171200Z ...THERE IS A SLIGHT RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS IN THE SOUTHEAST TO LOWER MID-ATLANTIC STATES... ...SUMMARY... A few tornadoes, scattered damaging winds, and isolated, small to marginal severe hail are possible Sunday across parts of the East. ...Southeast... A broken to linear band of thunderstorms should be ongoing at 12Z Sunday from parts of north FL to at least the Savannah Valley. This activity should be in an overall weakening state, but to what degree has above-average uncertainty. It is plausible that this activity will have outpaced/overturned the central Gulf Coast/Deep South instability plume with weaker downstream mid-level lapse rates towards the South Atlantic Coast. Still, strong low-level shear will remain coincident with at least mid 60s surface dew points to warrant a downstream tornado/wind threat through late morning into the afternoon. The southern portion of the convective band will encounter diminishing/more veered low-level flow with time, deeper in the FL Peninsula. This should result in a predominantly isolated damaging wind threat by late afternoon. ...Mid-Atlantic States... Low-topped convection, that may not be producing much lightning, should be ongoing across parts of the central/southern Appalachians vicinity at 12Z Sunday. Destabilization ahead of this activity will likely be muted by poor mid-level lapse rates and substantially weaker boundary-layer heating relative to the FL Peninsula. But with very strong low-level shear/winds, some risk for damaging winds and a couple tornadoes may be realized. The deep-layer meridional wind profile may tend to be mostly parallel to what convection attempts to intensify, which may temper a more widespread severe damaging wind threat. With northeast extent, surface-based instability should become minimal and weak convection should remain/become elevated, limiting severe potential. ...Alleghany/Cumberland Plateau... The level 1-MRGL risk has been expanded westward to account for signals of a separate corridor of late morning to afternoon convection. This may form along/ahead of the north/south-oriented cold front trailing from the primary surface cyclone advancing from the central Great Lakes to Quebec. This scenario will be predicated on sufficient boundary-layer heating, as the bulk of guidance suggests that low-level winds will become veered ahead of the front and yield some boundary-layer drying. This should substantially curtail low-level shear compared to early morning, but strong deep-layer shear could foster locally strong gusts and small to marginally severe hail.

@weatherwiz 3rd time ever SPC has issued Day 2 HIGH risk

Day 2 Convective Outlook NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 1230 PM CDT Fri Mar 14 2025 Valid 151200Z - 161200Z ...THERE IS A HIGH RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS IN CENTRAL/SOUTHERN PARTS OF MS/AL... ...SUMMARY... A tornado outbreak is likely on Saturday across the central Gulf Coast States and Deep South into the Tennessee Valley. Numerous significant tornadoes, some of which should be long-track and potentially violent, are expected on Saturday afternoon and evening. The most dangerous tornado threat should begin across eastern Louisiana and Mississippi during the late morning to afternoon, spread across Alabama late day into the evening, and reach western parts of the Florida Panhandle and Georgia Saturday night. ...Central Gulf Coast/Deep South/TN Valley... After collaboration with WFOs BMX/JAN/MOB, an upgrade to a level 5-HIGH risk appears warranted for the most likely corridor of potentially violent tornadoes, peaking tomorrow afternoon and evening. A broader level 4-MDT risk has been expanded somewhat eastward for the nocturnal significant tornado threat. An intense mid-level jet, 100-110 kts at 500 mb, will eject through the basal portion of a broad southern Great Plains shortwave trough. This will induce secondary cyclogenesis along an initially slow-moving baroclinic zone from the Ark-La-Tex to the central Great Lakes. Another day of air mass modification ahead of this wave will yield a pronounced plume of rich northwest Gulf moisture that should be pristine across southeast LA and southern MS through late morning. As mid-level height falls overspread the diurnally warming air mass, increasing convective development is expected along the deepening baroclinic zone, as well as residual outflows to its northeast in the TN Valley from prior late D1 convection. Steep mid-level lapse rates atop the richly moist boundary layer will yield at least moderate MLCAPE from 1500-2500 J/kg across eastern LA into central MS. Vertically veering wind profiles with strong anvil-level divergence amid the favorable instability should support robust updrafts and intense supercells. Low-level shear will strengthen midday through the afternoon, yielding potential for a tornado outbreak. The most probable convective corridor will be along the effective outflow boundary across central/northern parts of MS into north AL and south TN. Along and south of this will be the most favored corridor for long-tracked, discrete supercells. These will likely develop within north/south-oriented confluence bands as increasing large-scale ascent becomes coincident with the peak heating cycle. A volatile combination of kinematic/thermodynamic parameters will support potential for long-track, EF3+ tornadoes. The overall spatial extent of this threat will be modulated by the degree of boundary-layer heating within the mid to upper 60s dew point plume, along with where exactly the large-scale outflow boundary sets up from late D1/early D2. Significant tornado potential, along with very large hail and destructive damaging wind gusts, should persist into Saturday night. Greater potential for a broken to linear band of thunderstorms is anticipated by this time, but wind profiles will still strongly favor supercells. As such, a mix of all three hazards may continue with sig severe hail potential favored south and sig severe wind favored north as the convective band spreads towards the southern Appalachians and the northeast Gulf Coast.

3rd time ever

Uh oh

CAPE isn't too bad, around 600 J/KG... but those SRH values at both 1km and 3km are >300, effective shear over 60 kts.... 0-6km shear is extreme... 1km shear of 40 kts Tells me there is definitely a threat for QLCS tornadoes in that line

Hmmm y 3 Convective Outlook NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 0229 AM CDT Fri Mar 14 2025 Valid 161200Z - 171200Z ...THERE IS A SLIGHT RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS IN THE ATLANTIC COASTAL STATES FROM NORTHERN FLORIDA TO SOUTHEAST PENNSYLVANIA... ...SUMMARY... Severe storms with large hail, severe gusts and possibly a few tornadoes, are expected on Sunday across parts of the Atlantic Coastal States. ...Atlantic Coastal States... A mid-level trough will move eastward across the mid Mississippi Valley and western Great Lakes on Sunday, as an associated mid-level jet translates eastward into the southern and central Appalachians. Ahead of this feature, a south-to-north corridor of low-level moisture will be in place early in the day in the lee of the Appalachians, from Georgia north-northeastward into the Mid-Atlantic. Surface dewpoints along this corridor should be mostly in the 60s F. Along the western edge of this moist airmass, thunderstorms appear likely to be ongoing at the start of the period. The storms are forecast to move eastward from the higher terrain of the Appalachians into the lower elevations during the day. Ahead of the storms, some destabilization is forecast. ECMWF forecast soundings near the moist axis suggest that MLCAPE will peak in the 500 to 1000 J/kg range Sunday afternoon. In addition to the instability, strong deep-layer shear is forecast across most of the region due to the presence of the mid-level jet. As this feature moves to the east of the spine of the Appalachians, deep-layer shear is forecast to gradually increase. This will be favorable for a severe threat, associated with the stronger multicell line segments and/or rotating storms. Wind damage will be most favored along the leading edge of the faster-moving lines. Cells that remain discrete, and move into areas where the combination of instability and deep-layer shear is locally maximized, could become supercellular. Supercells will likely have potential for severe gusts and isolated large hail. An isolated tornado threat will also be possible, with the greatest tornado threat concentrated along and near the low-level jet during the afternoon, from the Carolinas into Virginia. Further north into the Hudson Valley, severe storms will also be possible. However, forecast instability in the Hudson Valley is less, suggesting the severe threat should remain marginal and more isolated. ..Broyles.. 03/14/2025

Borrowing this from the Tennessee Valley forum

@Kmlwx @high risk @Eskimo Joe Of course the usual caveats... but LWX AFD this afternoon already mentioning concern for severe thunderstorms next weekend LONG TERM /WEDNESDAY THROUGH SUNDAY/... Dry weather will prevail through the end of the week. A backdoor front will slide north to south Wednesday, then lift back north as a warm front late Thursday. There is an outside chance of a shower as the front lifts back north at the end of the week. A powerful area of low pressure and strong associated cold front will develop over the Plains later this week, then track east by next weekend. Current guidance has a strong FROPA next Sunday. Increasing moisture ahead of the front combined with increasing low-level winds raises concerns for severe thunderstorms, but the magnitude of the threat will depend on the exact timing of FROPA and how much instability is able to develop.

Wow, Maryland women got destroyed in the 1st half... then got close, then destroyed in the 2nd half

The Capitals are set to acquire pending UFA winger Anthony Beauvillier from the Penguins, per Elliotte Friedman of Sportsnet. They’re sending their 2025 second-round pick to Pittsburgh in return, Chris Johnston of TSN and The Athletic reports. After losing Jakub Vrána on waivers to the Predators yesterday, Washington had an open roster spot, so they won’t need to make a corresponding move. https://www.prohockeyrumors.com/2025/03/capitals-to-acquire-anthony-beauvillier-from-penguins.html#ref=home
