jpeters3 Posted April 12, 2020 Share Posted April 12, 2020 worth noting that a robust ofb is evident along the SE flank of the line. This means that tail end spin ups along the line are unlikely. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Right now, there’s very little convection at all. FWIW, the HRRR also shows gradually less convective blobbing along the warm front tomorrow morning. My guess is the tornado action could start as early as late morning on the SW/S flank of early day storms, probably in Louisiana, but possibly as far west as extreme eastern Texas. Arkansas (possibly eastern Oklahoma?) is interesting with funky wind profiles that could result in hybrid tornadic supercells. MS/W AL is still a wildcard area with many possible scenarios. Overnight tomorrow still really concerns me across a broad area from MS to GA, whether it be a broken line of supercells or a massive squall line with numerous QLCS tornadoes Overall, given the background environment, any convection near or south of the warm front needs to be watched as early as 16-17z. Even with messy storm modes, you can get strong tornadoes with so much low-level shear. Granted the storms started a bit earlier than 11 a.m., but I think most of us were/are more focused on the warm sector, where long-lived, intense/violent tornadoes will be possible.

Santa Clause Posted April 12, 2020 Share Posted April 12, 2020 Will the junky convection over parts of AL and MS do anything to hinder instability it that region..seems pretty widespread. Edit: Actually SVR storm near Jackson, MS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s effectively the warm front. As that surges north, so does the moist, unstable air mass. So, I don’t think it will play much of a deleterious role.

Quincy Posted April 12, 2020 Share Posted April 12, 2020 2 minutes ago, MUWX said: Could spacing be a limiting factor with those? It’s one potential limiting factor. All it takes is one lone storm in the open warm sector away from other convection to go on to produce an intense long-lived supercell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob's Burgers Posted April 12, 2020 Share Posted April 12, 2020 Something to consider is the placement of the qlcs right now vs where there 15z hrrr pegged it in its 2 hour forecast -- real obs would suggest this line is moving much faster than the HRRR forecast, limiting warm sector opportunity for open sector supercells. jmo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The 15 UTC HRRR is a little too far north, a little slow, and seems to be a little too discrete with this QLCS convection. Hard to tell what downstream impacts this might have, but it make me a bit skeptical of that solution. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sydney Claridge Posted April 12, 2020 Share Posted April 12, 2020 Moderate risk remains intact for the 1630z outlook. Concerns about convection surging ahead of the surface-based instability precludes a high risk upgrade. MDT extension into TN is for a 45% hatched wind risk; the 15% hatched tornado risk stays south of the TN/AL border. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
