Severe WX Severe Weather Threat 3/14-3/16

You can really see the Euro’s EML overturning issues along with the bloated updraft initiations.

And yet, even despite that, there’s still a largely discrete mode being modeled.

Not good.
Probably not a great sign when the model that’s predicting a possible failure mode starts printing supercells anyway.
 
Dew points don't have to be above 60 degrees for there to be problems. There are plenty of strong and even violent tornadoes such as the Winterset, Iowa EF4 that have occurred with dewpoints under 60. Due to the presence of cold air aloft, there is plenty of CAPE available in these areas with lower than 60s dewpoints which is more than enough for storms to work with.

That's why I've been concerned with this northern area too, because if models are under-forecasting dewpoints and moisture depth even a little bit, there's plenty of energy for storms to work with so they won't get ripped apart by the shear.
The average temperature and dewpoint when the Tri-State 1925 tornado was occuring was likely around 65.0°F/59.0°F. Another example would be the Crittenden, KY EF4 tornado. The temperature was 57.0°F and the dewpoint was 55.0°F.
 
What does weather look like for MS this weekend?

I just got asked this question after I told this same person that it's looking bad across both MS and Alabama earlier this afternoon.

I'm just gonna smile and let it slide off

A smile of pain and suffering, surely.
