Southeast Severe Weather: January 8-9, 2024

Looks like the threat hasn’t increased from 2 days ago. What’s the main threat here? Squall or discrete cells?

All I know is Bassfield, Sumrall, Monticello, Columbia, and Laurel are always under a loaded gun time and time again on days like this.

Seeing some hints of winter weather event around 22nd. Any validity to that?

I really missed the days when a thunderstorm was well, a thunderstorm and not some stupid fricking level 1-5 weather event.

The wind here in bham took a dead tree down in my yard last night. Ironically it fell up hill. If it had gone left it would have taken the power and cable lines to the house. Missed everything. Gotta cut it up tomorrow and work on another dead one before mondays weather.

Looks like the typical areas dodged this one

I'll take it

Hopefully it'll turn out not too bad for those in tbe risk areas

Explain it to me like I am not a meteorologist. What are the chances of us getting a good blow in central Mississippi?

Is this going to affect my flight to Punta Cana?

This is from SPC when they updated the convective outlook earlier. They mentioned the possibility of an upgrade to a moderate risk.

An extensive QLCS is still expected to develop this evening and move eastward along the Gulf Coast, with recent HRRR runs suggesting some potential for prefrontal supercell development. Any mature pre-frontal supercells could pose a strong tornado threat late tonight across parts of the central Gulf Coast, with damaging wind and line-embedded tornadoes also possible with the primary QLCS. A Moderate Risk upgrade remains possible with the 01Z update, depending on observational and short-term guidance trends regarding northward advance of the warm front and potential for mature prefrontal supercells overnight.
