Severe WX Severe threat 3/30-3/31

I would say given how March has progressed, I wouldn’t be downplaying the bulk of April just yet.
Well granted I’m not a fan of the guy but Dr. Reed agrees. The pattern shifts to a NW flow which isn’t conducive for severe weather for us. What basis are you making that statement on? Mine is based off computer model data, and another meteorologist.
 
Hail must be a very real threat with this one. I have pulled soundings on multiple models in locations from Nashville to Little Rock, Evansville to Tupelo and the analogs I’m getting are 2.75” to 5” hail pretty consistently.

Of course I don’t BELIEVE that is the ceiling for this event (don’t prove me wrong), but I also can’t remember pulling some of these numbers in this geography before.

you got me “bud”. Mine is based off of living thru both the April 3, 74 and the April 27, 2011 outbreaks on the ground in Alabama.

The condescension from the beginning isn’t appreciated. I used “bud” because there was no basis for his statement. You assume I don’t have any experience. How does your experience override a NW flow pattern that is coming in the middle to late April? The models are on board with this idea.
 
After looking at SPC/NWS Jackson/Memphis/Birmingham/Huntsville discussions, all mention supercell potential regardless of MCS/squall line. The 3km NAM and 12z HRRR both still have a lack of convection by 7pm Sunday. The only models that shows a solid squall line is the 6z 3km NAM and 6z NAM. So we'll see about that as I'm not totally convinced we'll see a solid line of storms. Now, about cloud cover issues. We get this uncertainty nearly every outbreak. Simple answer is that will have to be watched and how that trends the day of on that one. I've seen where we did have cloud cover issues and still was a significant day. Continue and Good Morning to all!
