Severe Weather Threat - January 8th-9th, 2024

NAM 3km coming in with a very dangerous look for the Mobile-FL Panhandle region.

I could understand them waiting til 13z to see some obs on the temps/dews before pulling the trigger on an upgrade
Yep. That would be the most logical thing to do unless something substantial happens during the early morning hours that warrants it earlier.

How far north do y’all think the warm front (and tornado threat) will go?
I would probably expand the MRGL, SLGT, and ENH a row or two of counties to the north and east in Alabama. I don’t think the significant wind/tornado threat will extend much farther north than that, as it currently stands.

I would expect a MDT at some point tomorrow, and wouldn’t be shocked to see a MDT for wind or a MDT for tornadoes (mainly QLCS) verify. This has the potential to be a significant wind event, regardless of the tornado threat. While I agree with MOB about strong tornado potential with QLCS tornadoes, the greater potential is with embedded supercells or lone supercells over the GOM that move ashore. The synoptic environment is foreboding alone. I caution against CAM hugging, but they also show an acute scenario playing out.
