I apologize if I've somehow missed this somewhere, but if this event verifies, roughly what time can we expect things to fire off?

In my opinion any supercells further north (N MS & AL, S TM) will have the potential to produce EF2-3 tornadoes, further south I think weak tornadoes are more likely (maybe a low end EF2) - yet if the southern mode grows upscale then in a sense the northern mode is 'cut-off' (we saw something similar in 25/3/2021 event) and northern mode may not even exist. This is mainly based of HRRR. I am eager to see hodographs on observed soundings because a couple CAMS are showing stornger shear than the HRRR which would obviously worsen the event.

I'd imagine some of the lower shear today if there is that. may be offset by high low level lapse rates if we can get those. With the sun being out I'd say it's a good possibility. Don't need a whole lot of shear to get tornadoes.

You all may notice that images, when attached, are being edited to be smaller. I know we haven't been really enforcing it, but please, if you include a picture, do not make it full-size in the post. You can attach files and if you do not click the insert button the image will be there but it will not take up the entire screen. If people are interested in the image they can click on it to enlarge it. See the attachment of the incoming weather for today.

I completely agree with your assessment. I will be curious to see which way this event goes

I’m sorry! I’m on my phone so everything looks small already. I’ll try to be more careful in the future.
