Severe WX Severe Threat 17-18 March 2021

Also, pretty impressive signature on the storm SW of Clanton (how many times could this line have been typed today?) from MXX.
 
Really a race against time to sync up with the best of the LLJ.
 
I must say I'm rather baffled by the failure of the cellular storms that were ahead of the line earlier around the Laurel-Mt. Olive, MS area. I expected at least a couple of monster supercells to evolve out of that activity and become our source of families of long-track EF3+ continuing well into the night across Alabama.
 
Teeny tiny couplet between Glen Allen and Winfield, very transient but things ramping up and down like that is one of the main reason I hate QLCS setups
 
Just saw this. Experienced people know about the dangers of overnight storms, but for everybody else:



No joke. This happens two, three fours after you let yourself relax cuz things are quiet and go to sleep -- especially after the day's events have given you warning fatigue. Heckuva way to be woken up.
 
I will definitely say the Mississippi portion of the event busted HARD. Not the whole event, though the activity was far more concentrated than expected.

there were too many of them. they just kinda all ran together and formed junk convection.

I've heard a couple of people say VBV.
 
Storm mode is definitely the downfall of most Dixie events that fail to live up to their potential. Whether the warm sector gets junked up or things go immediately upscale, it's quite rare to have a nice clean supercellular setup here. Even 4/15/11 and 4/28/14 had very messy storm mode.
