12z Euro valid around the 28th. Whenever you have temperatures and dewpoints in the 60s/70s to near 80 during the winter months, you'll have trouble.

Yep. I'm that guy that is always talking about or bringing up long range threats. LOL!

That guy who was doing it oh...about 10 years and 8 months ago? That kid they wrote about in "What Stands in a Storm?" Great to know you are still pursuing your passion. Although I'm sure that day was incredibly traumatic, you went above and beyond to help warn your town.

As for those Euro maps...just the surface low placement and surface thermos is a big yikes for parts of the South if that verifies.

Yes the same one. Finished my degree in Geoscience in August 2016 from Mississippi State. I do more in the private sector.

It's almost worth another thread to talk about this guy and what JPWX has experienced and done. I haven't met him but heard great stuff.

SPC's 4-8 is about as ominous as it can be without actually delineating an area.

...DISCUSSION...
Above-average agreement persists with a shortwave trough near the
Pacific Northwest coast at 12Z Thu progressing east across the
northern states through D5/Fri. Cyclogenesis is expected over the
north-central states with poleward advection of modified moisture
from the western Gulf towards the OH Valley/Midwest in an air mass
characterized by well above-normal to potentially record warmth.

This might yield some severe potential on D5/Fri. However, with
further reinforcement of a continental polar air mass over the Gulf
through D2, the degree of moisture return in D4-5 may remain
insufficient to warrant a greater severe threat. It will prime the
moist sector for the next upstream trough
, with some indications
that one at a lower latitude may evolve in the D8/Mon-D9/Tue time
frame. Spread in this scenario remains much too large to warrant
consideration of a severe weather area, but an above-average
warm/moist sector in terms of quality and spatial extent for late
December bears watching early next week
.

I guess we can consider ourselves lucky that this pattern is occurring now rather than in April/May. What would 12/10-11 and 12/15 have been like with the sun angles and moisture depth of those months, all else being equal?

Already talking deep moisture return not problem …

A strong system moving across the Gulf of Mexico will bring severe weather to Florida tomorrow.

Well, 10–11 December was very close to some major springtime events in terms of intensity, as were 19–20 February ’84 (Enigma) and 5–6 February ’08 (Super Tuesday).

The west-based -NAO that is projected to be in place during the upcoming week might limit the spatial extent of any event that does occur, however, though it should serve to keep heights suppressed and maintain a low-amplitude flow over the warm sector. One could see multiple rounds of severe weather over portions of the southern Plains during the same timeframe, especially portions of North TX and southern OK. After all, the Garland TX EF4 (2015) occurred around Christmastime.

An early morning tornado injured one in south Fort Myers, FL and a wind driven coconut damaged a car in Miami.
