Yea they shifted everything eastward which honestly makes more sense to me but also sounds like the tornado chance has decreased somewhat

I'm honestly not sure it calls for "enhanced" but they are way smarter than me

The enhanced is based on the probabilities of severe level straight line winds.

Yeah, it is wind-driven with a 30% hatched area. Gonna be another windy day, even without the storms.

Does this mean it is likely to arrive later on the east coast and stay longer, or keep the same timing and just be less severe?

Not much has changed timing-wise for the east coast.

Whoa, what a massive change in target areas.
I've never seen that big of a change within a day of said event

With the serious single digit lows that are being predicted for several fronts coming through east Tennessee, my landscaping has a chance of surviving if it goes in well watered.

Tough forecast, but SPC accounted for this possibility, at least to an extent. Instability, or the lack thereof, has been the big question mark. What was already a question mark has trended down with each run of the CAMs. Moisture isn't terrible for this time of year, and lapse rates aren't bad, but CAPE (especially low level) is virtually nonexistent across much of the original area of concern. Shear isn't an issue, either. There will be a massive LLJ that kicks early tomorrow, but it is a bit displaced, which probably figures into the big shift in tomorrow's enhanced area.

SEVERE WEATHER POTENTIAL TOMORROW

SPC has upgraded our whole area to a Slight Risk with NW AL in an Enhanced Risk for severe weather tomorrow.

Thunderstorms capable of producing damaging winds of 75+ MPH are possible. Make sure to have multiple ways to receive warnings!




They corrected the day on the timing graphic in a follow up tweet.

Good to see that West Central GA.has been downgraded to a level 2. People here(understandably) were getting antsy considering that tomorrow is the year anniversary of the Griffin tornadoes.

Looks like we have a window for some nastiness in the Arklatex area starting in a couple hours or so. Maybe a chance for a tornado or two, especially in the western part of the area. Instability kind of falls off as you move east, though. This will likely be a big wind bag for MS and AL where we just don't have the CAPE or moisture to really support tornadic storms. The straight line winds are gonna be hairy, and the gradient winds will be similar to the other day.

Not the worst observed sounding out of Shreveport ahead of storm development.

Tuscaloosa County schools are canceled for tomorrow. Or should I say it's been changed to a "e- learning" day.

Basically supports my thinking in my previous post about the storms tonight. It is a bigger deal if some storms form out ahead or the line that will be moving out of Texas into the Arklatex. There will be a good environment for those storms.

The storms over Arkansas now are elevated and are mostly a hail threat. What may form later farther south will be more surface based and in a better environment.
