That’s only one step down from “Hide the women and children!” Quad Cities might be down to two or three.

In all seriousness, will it get into central MS and make me have to go to work? Or will it get bad in north MS and I have to travel. Look into your crystal ball and tell me friend!

Is it crazy that I am actually happy to see one of these threads instead of a covid one?

SPC Update



It looks like some early day convection might prevent this event from reaching some of the higher end solutions that have been tossed around.

00z HRRR at 18z Today showing a pretty clean target area allowing for the parameter space to really ramp up heading towards 00z.



15z HRRR at 18z today showing multiple showers and storms ongoing across the target area. That could keep things in check but maybe some time for recovery in the SW portions of the MOD risk area.

It reminds me alot of the Cullman tornado on April 27. They had it coming toward the camera for quite a while until it took out the camera.

I've watched all 8 hours of James Spann's coverage of the day of that super outbreak with the Cullman & Tuscaloosa tornadoes... the skycams were perfectly placed that day for those 2 twisters
