SPC AC 010829

   Day 3 Convective Outlook  
   NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
   0229 AM CST Wed Mar 01 2023

   Valid 031200Z - 041200Z

   ...THERE IS A SLIGHT RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS PARTS OF
   THE SOUTHEAST INTO THE OHIO VALLEY...

   ...SUMMARY...
   Severe thunderstorms capable of damaging wind gusts and a few
   tornadoes will be possible on Friday across parts of the Southeast
   into the Ohio Valley.

   ...Southeast into the Ohio Valley...
   A negatively tilted upper-level trough and attendant cyclone are
   forecast to move quickly from the Ozark Plateau toward the lower
   Great Lakes on Friday. A cold front will move across much of the
   Southeast and TN/OH Valleys. Very strong deep-layer flow/shear will
   overspread a relatively moist and at least weakly unstable
   environment from the Southeast into the Ohio Valley, resulting in a
   broad area of severe-thunderstorm potential. 

   A strongly forced convective line is expected to be ongoing at the
   start of the period across central/eastern MS into western TN, with
   a threat of at least locally damaging wind and brief, line-embedded
   tornadoes. This line will progress across parts of middle/eastern TN
   into parts of the OH Valley, in conjunction with the strongest
   forcing associated with the ejecting shortwave trough. Instability
   will become increasingly scant with northeastward extent, but any
   steepening of low-level lapse rates that can occur ahead of the line
   will help to maintain a threat of damaging gusts and perhaps a
   line-embedded tornado or two, given very strong low-level flow/shear
   that will persist along/ahead of the surface low track. 

   Farther south into parts of AL/GA and eventually the Carolinas,
   convective evolution is more uncertain. With the strongest forcing
   moving north of this region, some weakening of the convective line
   is possible, though somewhat stronger diurnal
   heating/destabilization (compared to areas farther north) may
   sustain sufficiently robust convection to maintain a threat of
   damaging wind and brief tornadoes through the afternoon into the
   evening, as convection spreads into the Carolinas. 

   Some adjustments to the large Slight Risk will likely be needed in
   subsequent outlooks, depending on the timing of the ejecting
   shortwave trough and evolution of antecedent upstream convection
   during the Day 1-2 periods.

   ..Dean.. 03/01/2023

We ought to monitor the severe weather threat on 03/03/2023.  The amount of bulk shear is there for Central Alabama (i.e., Greater Birmingham), North Georgia (i.e., Metro Atlanta). the Upstate (Greenville/Spartanburg/Anderson) and Midlands of South Carolina (Columbia), and Western North Carolina and Metro Charlotte to deal with damaging winds and a QLCS tornadic threat.  I don't think this will make it to the Triangle, but the timing is key with the daytime heating.  Also if there are any breaks in the cloud cover allowing more localized instability.  The preliminary timing of the severe threat will be the midday and afternoon hours of Friday for said areas.

Models are back to being more aggressive with the non-convective wind gusts across the Piedmont, with gusts possibly to 50 mph+. Starting to look like this may be the bigger story than severe weather, for NC anyway.

Might not even get rain with the main line in most of NC

WRAL just showed wind forecast and the highest it got was around 20s tomorrow night.
Didn’t act like it was a big deal here.
