Some of the crazier soundings I've ever seen the GFS print out just came with that 00z run. Shear profiles (should they verify close to what is being suggested) here make just about any storm that hits 40 dBZ start rotating. If we get any semblance of surface heating, there is going to be a big problem. Even without a lot of sunshine, such incredible low level wind fields are sure to get the moisture there. An EML would just be...well I don't really want to think about it.
The presence of the right exit region of the STJ over the Gulf is what separates this from a number of other Gulf Coast events that have struggled. That should help suppress development over the Gulf prior to the frontal passage.
Alarm bells are going off here, with it being Easter, I hope people are ready for this with all of the COVID complications dominating the news.
