Severe Weather Risk This Weekend

The kinematics on Sunday over FL and GA (perhaps into the Carolinas too) look pretty ridiculous. Euro has an appreciable plume of instability into the area as well. Going to come down to the amount of convection between now and then and also the mode, but I could certainly see a widespread damaging wind event or significant tornadoes if the intensity of the low level jet being shown by the Euro/NAM verifies. Tomorrow is more clouded given the high res almost uniformly indicating a lot of contamination from MCS activity, but if anything resembling a healthy warm sector ends up being in place, effective shear is certainly high enough for a pretty broad swath of severe reports.

In North FL southern - Damn I hope not but y'all seem to be whistlin' a bad tune. Dogs and cats gonna be in the trees if'un it happens.

any OFBs will be interesting tomorrow.

a couple of TOR warnings in western LA

 

new day 1

0658 PM CST FRI JAN 20 2017  
  
VALID 210100Z - 211200Z  
  
...THERE IS AN ENHANCED RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS PARTS OF  
SOUTHERN AND CENTRAL LA/MS...AND SOUTHWEST AL...  
  
...THERE IS A SLIGHT RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS EXTENDING FROM  
SOUTHEAST TX ACROSS THE LOWER MS VALLEY INTO AL AND THE FL  
PANHANDLE...  
  
...THERE IS A MARGINAL RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS SURROUNDING THE  
SLIGHT RISK...  
   
..SUMMARY  
  
SCATTERED SEVERE STORMS ARE EXPECTED TO CONTINUE DEVELOPING THIS  
EVENING ACROSS SOUTHEAST TEXAS, AND SPREAD ACROSS THE LOWER  
MISSISSIPPI VALLEY AND INTO ALABAMA AND THE FLORIDA PANHANDLE  
TONIGHT THROUGH SATURDAY MORNING. A FEW TORNADOES, SOME OF WHICH  
COULD BE STRONG, LARGE HAIL, AND DAMAGING WINDS WILL ALL BE  
POSSIBLE.  
  
REMINDER: THIS DAY 1 CONVECTIVE OUTLOOK WILL BE VALID THROUGH 12Z  
SATURDAY (7 AM EST/6 AM CST). AN UPCOMING DAY 1 CONVECTIVE OUTLOOK  
WILL BE ISSUED AROUND 06Z (1 AM EST/MIDNIGHT CST), WHICH WILL BE  
VALID BEGINNING AT 12Z SATURDAY, AND CONTINUING THROUGH 12Z SUNDAY.  
  
...SOUTHEAST TX INTO THE LOWER MS VALLEY AND ADJACENT GULF COAST  
STATES...  
A CLUSTER OF THUNDERSTORMS HAS DEVELOPED ACROSS THE HOUSTON METRO  
AREA OVER THE PAST SEVERAL HOURS ALONG A SEA BREEZE AS LARGE-SCALE  
ASCENT ASSOCIATED WITH AN UPSTREAM SHORTWAVE TROUGH OVERSPREADS THIS  
REGION. THIS ACTIVITY IS EXPECTED TO CONTINUE NORTHEASTWARD/EASTWARD  
ACROSS THE LOWER SABINE RIVER VALLEY THROUGH THE EVENING. BETTER  
LOW-LEVEL MOISTURE CHARACTERIZED BY MID 60S TO LOWER 70S DEWPOINTS  
CURRENTLY RESIDES NEAR/ALONG COASTAL LA/MS/AL AND THE WESTERN FL  
PANHANDLE. THIS MOISTURE WILL LIKELY MOVE NORTHWARD INTO CENTRAL  
LA/MS/AL AS AN EFFECTIVE WARM FRONT THROUGH 12Z SATURDAY AS A 40-50  
KT LOW-LEVEL JET STRENGTHENS ACROSS THIS REGION.  
  
OVERALL THINKING REGARDING CONVECTIVE EVOLUTION THROUGH THIS  
EVENING/OVERNIGHT AND INTO EARLY SATURDAY MORNING REMAINS GENERALLY  
UNCHANGED FROM THE PRIOR OUTLOOK. UPSCALE GROWTH OF INITIAL  
CLUSTER/DISCRETE DEVELOPMENT IN SOUTHEAST TX/SOUTHWEST LA APPEARS  
PROBABLE GIVEN THE STRENGTH OF THE LOW-LEVEL JET AND LARGE-SCALE  
ASCENT ASSOCIATED WITH A 120+ KT UPPER JET MOVING OVER THE LOWER MS  
VALLEY. WHILE LARGE HAIL MAY BE AN INITIAL THREAT GIVEN STEEP  
MID-LEVEL LAPSE RATES, DAMAGING WINDS WOULD APPEAR TO BE THE GREATER  
CONCERN WITH TIME AS THIS LINE OF THUNDERSTORMS MOVES EASTWARD  
ACROSS SOUTHERN/CENTRAL LA/MS AND INTO SOUTHWEST AL OVERNIGHT. SOME  
ADJUSTMENTS HAVE BEEN MADE TO THE 30% WIND PROBABILITIES AND  
CORRESPONDING ENHANCED RISK AREA TO ACCOUNT FOR A SLIGHTLY FASTER  
EASTWARD PROGRESSION OF THIS LINE PER MOST RECENT CONVECTION-  
ALLOWING MODEL GUIDANCE.  
  
IN ADDITION, A 10% TORNADO PROBABILITY AREA HAS BEEN INCLUDED FOR  
PARTS OF SOUTHERN LA/MS AND FAR SOUTHWEST AL, INCLUDING THE MOBILE  
METRO AREA. THERE WILL BE A GREATER POTENTIAL FOR DISCRETE SUPERCELL  
DEVELOPMENT WITH SOUTHWARD EXTENT AHEAD OF THE PREVIOUSLY MENTIONED  
LINE OF THUNDERSTORMS. FORECAST SOUNDINGS ACROSS THIS REGION SUGGEST  
THAT ANY TORNADOES THAT DO FORM IN THIS ENVIRONMENT COULD BE STRONG  
WITH SOUTHWESTERLY WINDS AROUND 850 MB STRENGTHENING TO AROUND 50 KT  
OVERNIGHT, AND CORRESPONDING EFFECTIVE SRH IN EXCESS OF 300 M2/S2.

I suspect this is a clue that SPC will go with a MODERATE for tomorrow 

Also I suspect a Moderate for day 2 also (with a rare high risk for later upgrade if everything comes together Sunday such as warm sector quality )

PUBLIC SEVERE WEATHER OUTLOOK    
NWS STORM PREDICTION CENTER NORMAN OK  
0937 PM CST FRI JAN 20 2017  
   
..SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS EXPECTED OVER PARTS OF THE  OVERNIGHT  
  
* LOCATIONS...  
  SOUTHERN LOUISIANA  
  SOUTHERN MISSISSIPPI  
  SOUTHWESTERN ALABAMA  
  
* HAZARDS...  
  A FEW INTENSE TORNADOES  
  SCATTERED DAMAGING WINDS  
  ISOLATED LARGE HAIL UP TO BASEBALL SIZE  
  
* SUMMARY...  
  SCATTERED SEVERE STORMS ARE EXPECTED TO CONTINUE DEVELOPING THIS  
  EVENING ACROSS SOUTHWESTERN LOUISIANA, AND SPREAD ACROSS THE  
  LOWER MISSISSIPPI VALLEY AND INTO ALABAMA AND THE FLORIDA  
  PANHANDLE TONIGHT THROUGH SATURDAY MORNING. A FEW TORNADOES,  
  SOME OF WHICH COULD BE STRONG, LARGE HAIL AND DAMAGING WINDS  
  WILL ALL BE POSSIBLE.  
  
PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...  
  
TORNADOES AT NIGHT CAN BE PARTICULARLY DANGEROUS BECAUSE THEY   
ARE USUALLY FAST-MOVING AND DIFFICULT TO SEE. STAY TUNED TO  
NOAA WEATHER RADIO, WEATHER.GOV, OR OTHER MEDIA FOR WATCHES AND  
WARNINGS. A TORNADO WATCH MEANS THAT CONDITIONS ARE FAVORABLE  
FOR TORNADOES TO FORM DURING THE NEXT SEVERAL HOURS. IF A TORNADO  
WARNING IS ISSUED FOR YOUR AREA, MOVE TO A PLACE OF SAFETY,  
IDEALLY IN A BASEMENT OR INTERIOR ROOM ON THE LOWEST FLOOR OF A  
STURDY BUILDING.

I think you are right Janet.  SPC usually doesn't issue a public outlook unless they go with a moderate.  Might come with new day one tonight.

If I remember right, they've done this before for an overnight threat like what's coming to help get the word out. Even with just an enhanced/slight risk. I don't think it has anything to do with what new day 1 outlook for tomorrow.

MESOSCALE DISCUSSION 0088  
NWS STORM PREDICTION CENTER NORMAN OK  
0741 AM CST SAT JAN 21 2017  
  
AREAS AFFECTED...CENTRAL AND SOUTHERN ALABAMA...WESTERN FLORIDA  
PANHANDLE...AND PARTS OF WEST AND SOUTHWEST GEORGIA  
  
CONCERNING...TORNADO WATCH 11...  
  
VALID 211341Z - 211515Z  
  
THE SEVERE WEATHER THREAT FOR TORNADO WATCH 11 CONTINUES.  
  
SUMMARY...THE SEVERE-WEATHER THREAT INCLUDING A TORNADO RISK  
CONTINUES ACROSS WW 11 THIS MORNING.  
  
A NEW TORNADO WATCH WILL BE COORDINATED SOON TO THE EAST OF WW 11  
FOR PARTS OF WEST, SOUTHWEST, AND CENTRAL GEORGIA.  
  
DISCUSSION...A WELL-DEVELOPED MCS AND ASSOCIATED MESOLOW ARE MOVING  
ACROSS CENTRAL AND SOUTHERN ALABAMA, WITH THE MESOLOW NOW LOCATED  
NEAR OR NORTH OF SEM.  A WARM FRONT EXTENDED EAST FROM THE MESOLOW  
INTO WEST-CENTRAL AND CENTRAL GEORGIA.  LOW-LEVEL MASS RESPONSE  
CONTINUES TO RESULT IN DOWNSTREAM MOISTENING OF THE ENVIRONMENT INTO  
EASTERN ALABAMA AND SOUTHWEST, WEST-CENTRAL AND CENTRAL GEORGIA THIS  
MORNING.  THIS COMBINED WITH STRONG DEEP-LAYER AND STRENGTHENING  
LOW-LEVEL SHEAR (0-1 KM SRH OF 300-400 M2/S2 IN EAST AND SOUTHEAST  
ALABAMA) FROM WEST-EAST ACROSS THE WARM SECTOR WILL CONTINUE TO  
FAVOR A THREAT FOR A FEW TORNADOES, DAMAGING WINDS AND HAIL.  GIVEN  
THE SUPPORTIVE THERMODYNAMICS AND KINEMATICS, THE DISCRETE STORMS  
DEVELOPING NEAR THE WARM FRONT (E.G. TROUP COUNTY, GA) AND THE WARM  
SECTOR, AS WELL AS ALONG TWO BANDS OF STORMS IN CENTRAL AND  
SOUTHWEST ALABAMA WILL POSE A RISK FOR ALL SEVERE HAZARDS THIS  
MORNING (ACROSS WW 11) AND ACROSS PARTS OF GEORGIA THIS MORNING AND  
AFTERNOON.
