I get why SPC didn't go harder on the risk, it is March and usually clouds linger and kill off a potential. That didn't happen and so the areas to the east where the better shear always was, got unstable and stayed unstable after sunset. It is a very tough forecast. I do think this might be an indication that this spring is going to have very significant potential in a lot of places especially considering the EML extensions and the transition into a La Nina while still in a -PDO from the last La Nina. Everything signals a very active spring.
