Fairly comparable to the parameters that will be in place farther north tomorrow too.  Hmm..

Now watch tomorrow have like a dozen tornadoes lol

I think it is useful to see what's going on today, especially since the parameters are fairly similar tomorrow as you said. But subtle differences can sometimes result in drastically different outcomes.  I don't think there's much doubt that we're going to get bands of storms so the question comes down to severity.

I think the key for tomorrow is if the low does strengthen, if that happens the pressure falls will help immensely compared to today down there where the low is weakening.

Seems like the models have it relatively steady state.  It's ~998 mb right now and it looks to be about that pressure by this time tomorrow.

Not sure what's going to happen here.  I could see anything from less than 1" to about 3-4" if that heavier core band on the western side of the low moves over. Extrapolating the cams would suggest that heavy band ends up around here.

Record May precipitable water at DTX is 1.96", ILX is 1.99" and ILN is 1.90".  All of these have a shot at being broken.  

I'll take the over on DTX for the 00z sounding tomorrow, ILX and ILN might be in between sounding launches.

The 10pm cdt advisory from the WPC dropped the “sub” label and called it a good ol’ fashion tropical depression.  Some wind damage reported near the center into TN this evening so it’s held together impressively well since landfall. 

They actually bumped up the maximum sustained winds on this advisory.  A couple sites in KY/TN are gusting near 40 mph.

It’ll be interesting to see what the gusts are Wednesday afternoon, especially just east of the center if some sun can poke through.

ILX tied theirs with 1.99" observed on today's 12z sounding.  We'll see what DTX and ILN come in with tonight.

This is fairly remarkable for late May, having an environment this far north that’s allowed Alberto to maintain well and transition to fully tropical while over land.  Can thank the weak/displaced jet for giving Alberto close to a barotropic environment overland and weak wind shear...which along with heat flux from the soil, enhanced by the month-long warmth, has allowed the storm to maintain its warm core and central convection for nearly 48 hours over land and counting.  The fun ends tonight as it interacts with the shortwave coming in from the upper Midwest.  Very unusual to see a legit TC over Indiana, and in May is obviously pretty mind blowing.

Yeah, it's still a pretty well defined system/swirl on satellite and radar. About the only thing lacking is that it has been dry and not wet lately in the Ohio Valley, so the "brown ocean" effect is reduced, but other than that it's been a good environment to allow it to maintain some organization.

Right, could’ve maybe added a few more degrees to the dew points and enhanced the effect a bit more with some wetter soil.
