Meso guidance is definitely hinting at some wind issues for the higher elevations. Would agree with @George BM that it could get a wind advisory for Mason-Dixon counties and perhaps the I-81 corridor. If we can manage some sunshine as well it might promote more effective mixing to the surface.
Yup. Historically our best tornado days in these parts come from either tropical remnants, or a powerful Dixie Alley outbreak. Hurricane Ivan in 2004 and April 27-28, 2011 are perfect examples of each scenario.
My NWS COOP data for RSTM2 in Jan 2022 | 2023:
Avg High 37.3° | 49.4°
Avg Low 19.3° | 34.3°
We only had 2 days below freezing for lows. No days below 25 degrees.
I held hope until after that cold shot in December was over. It became obvious by New Years Day we were probably be staring another shutout winter in the face.
