...DISCUSSION... Medium-range models continue to show a powerful mid- to upper-level trough ejecting into the central U.S. by late Tuesday into Wednesday. A deep cyclone is currently progged by most ensemble members to move from the central Great Plains into the Great Lakes vicinity. Preceding this upper trough, an antecedent re-charging of steep lapse rates associated with an elevated mixed layer over the southern High Plains is forecast. A few days of airmass modification, both in terms of ambient temperature and moistening over the Gulf Basin, will occur in wake of frontal passage on Saturday. Northward moisture return beneath the aforementioned EML will probably result in a substantial warm sector by late afternoon Tuesday and into Wednesday farther east. Model run-to-run continuity is such that there is increased confidence in the introduction of 15-percent severe-risk highlights with the expected eastward progression of the trough. Will defer the possibility of an additional area farther east on Thursday until confidence in details related to earlier days becomes more focused.


Just giving the regular severe weather OPers heads up to be on stand by.

This one is a big mess right now. There's a lot to sort out between now and then.

It's just too early

ETA: meaning too early to forecast with much accuracy, not that it's too early in the year for such shenanigans

An elderly friend posted about this and said it’s not good their confidence is that high so far out. I know it can be nothing this far out but do they usually assign 15-30% this far away?

It's rare but not unheard of.

What happens if the hospitals are already slammed with Covid patients?

They have good confidence this system could cause severe weather somewhere. Those are two pretty broad areas, though, and the details are going to take a bit with this one.

As far as how often they put out a Day 6 or 7 probabilistic outlook, it isn't all that rare. I do get the feeling they're doing it a little more over the past few years, but I don't have anything to back up that feeling.

Yep. The best dynamics may be too far north for a real Dixie Alley threat. Instability also looks meager, even for February.

Honestly, I think the SPC may have jumped the gun on this one. It has been a messy look all along, and it hasn't trended upward today. It has plenty of time to change, but I don't think it warranted a 7 day yellow on the map.

I hate to say it, but I think they may have been influenced by the social media noise with this one. Maybe I'm wrong, which wouldn't surprise me, but this doesn't look like a high confidence system.

The southern area on Wednesday (Day 4) has been dropped from the outlook. There just isn't much to it.

The northern extent has come together a bit better. It'll feature what seems to be a legit dry line working through the IL/IN area from the NW to the SE with a chance for storms out in front of it, as well as along the dry line itself. Could be interesting if it doesn't get too messy.

I'm already sick of temps in the 80s in my TX burg. Heck, it hit 91 at D/FW airport today and just heard 97 in Laredo. Mercy.
