Pretty much drove where that signature traversed and didn't notice any damage or debris outside of leaves in the road...which may not have been storm related.  I bet we had a decent inversion...or at least an inversion in place which really prevented winds from reaching the surface.  I wish the structures were evident though.  Wonder if a wall or funnel were there?

Rather intrigued today to see how things unfold.  Doesn't seem to be a great deal of consistency or agreement between the hi-res models as to exactly how today unfolds.  Instability/shear will be there...along with decent lapse rates.  Just a matter of forcing I guess.  The best forcing remains well off to the west but there does seem to be some pieces of energy which move overhead during the afternoon.  Could see a few rotating storms as well if anything remains discrete.

ACCAS by 8, day shift stays late.

SREF dropping a 45% significant tornado ingredients. That's a pretty solid signal for severe weather. Like you said, deep, unidirectional shear, CAPE probably going to push into the 500-1000 J/kg range. But I think the key is pretty strong mid level winds moving through the region today.

How is timing?  

Just looking at radar and satellite loops (and admittedly ...not much else), triggers east of the Berk's has that look of maybe being a bit of a commodity .. .  Of course, if there is more mechanical forcing , it may be less important than relying upon SB CAPE.

Holy crap that is pretty damn significant. Where do you think is good to chase?

Mid to late afternoon it looks like. Probably going to be mostly daytime heating forced, since the front isn't exactly plowing ahead.
