quote:

RAP forecast soundings across the Moderate Risk area from north-central Mississippi into southwest Tennessee at 21Z show moderate instability and impressive kinematic profiles. MLCAPE is forecast to be from 1000 to 1200 J/kg with 0-6 km shear in the 50 to 55 kt range. This will support supercell formation with cells that remain discrete. In addition, hodographs are long and looped with 0-3 km storm relative helicity values in the 350 to 450 m2/s2 range. This low-level shear environment will be favorable for tornadoes. A potential for long-track significant tornadoes will exist across the Moderate Risk area from late this morning through much of the afternoon.


SPC Day 1 Outlook

To make matters worse, high risk of excessive rainfall over practically the same area.



Saturated ground, strong winds, could be dropping some trees through north MS.

Get that radarscope ready to go.

If I was a chaser, probably set up in Oxford or Tupelo. Best location likely instability wise. Suspect this is going to be messy with best shear and instability not quite lining up. Still enough for a long track if everything lines up a little better than the NAM soundings.

Counter point: if you ask weather Twitter tonight

15% and 10% hatched tornado probabilities in the moderate and enhanced risk areas, meaning a 10% or higher risk of strong tornadoes (EF-2 to EF-5) within 25 miles of a given point.

Warm sector clearly showing up south of the warm front, cool season events are always tricky to forecast.

We are in the fringe of that area. Muggy and still this morning. If you live in this part of the world you know it's an omen this time of year.

Storm line just rolled through NW Louisiana where I live - ten minutes with about two minutes of a fair wind.
