Certainly possible the smoke could have an impact on surface temperatures but with an elevated mixed-layer moving in and dewpoints climbing instability shouldn't be an issue. Also, in terms of the MCS...this may sort of set the boundary for where the corridor of highest severe weather potential exists. This will probably leave behind some residual outflow boundaries and also have to watch out for a strong differential heating zone which may become established. But once the MCS passes things should begin destabilizing quickly. Big question I think is going to be do storms pop during the afternoon (like HRRR has). These would be more discrete/supercell and pose the greatest risk for very large hail and tornadoes

9z HRRR for JACK Probably would like to see a bit more curvature in the 0-1km layer for true concern for a strong tornado, but those sfc winds end up more 200° you're going to ramp that up quickly. But this is a significant amount of CAPE up to the EL and that mlvl shear. You get a mature supercell moving into this environment and you're probably looking at a spaceship structure. Pretty good inflow into the environment too.

There is this brief series done by the History Channel called "Doomsday". 10 episodes, each about a different way we could go extinct. One of the 10 was based on the Carrington event. I actually love the series, purely for entertainment. Its well done in terms of entertainment and "fear" factor. Every now and then I'll fall asleep listening to the series and sometimes I actually dream that I am immersed in whatever the scenario is The 10 are: Hyper volcano eruption (or something along those lines) Gamma Ray burst Earth ends up out of orbit and is swallowed by the sun Black hole swallows the moon and Earth Aliens solar storm Nuclear war Asteroid Earth hit by a rogue planet can't remember the last one

There may be two rounds of storms 1) During the evening (7-11 PM) 2) Overnight (1-3 AM) Certainly may have to watch for some discrete storms to pop too with that time frame being after 5-6 PM...something to definitely watch for in terms of tornado potential, though potential for these discrete storms early may be more northwest of Portland. I know Portland is outside the enhanced and may be a bit far southwest from the greatest potential but its a damn impressive environment there well into the overnight
