Ugh, so we can cross “cloudy warm sector” off the list of possible failure modes, and early soundings show a decent EML.
Things are sadly falling into place to make today significant.
Oh I agree Wednesday is a super serious threat. I was just more highlighting that Albedoman’s jeremiad about EF4-EF5s this far out is kinda irresponsible (and his definition of tornado emergencies is incomplete).
This is needlessly scaremongering and doesn't fit the parameters we see. We're going to see a lot of low-end tornadoes since the warm sector has essentially no cap. This will prevent bigger storms from firing. The threat of tomorrow aren't EF4-EF5s, but a firehose of EF2's and EF3's. I hope your reputation among your friends and family doesn't suffer from crying wolf about this.
The day 2 disco from earlier today mentioned that if models remained consistent they'd pull a 06z Day 1 high risk. I think they get there, just wonder where they draw the bullseye.
Good thread by good follow Tony Lyza on questions about the latest NAM run not initiating isolated supercellular convection. The start of the thread is here:
Good grief. We're holding our winter commencement ceremony here in OKC on Saturday, so needless to say we're looking closely at the forecast. Probably won't get any certainty about what will be falling from the skies until Thursday at the absolute earliest.
