Severe WX March 30th- April 1st 2023 (South, Southeast, Ohio Valley, Upper Midwest)

The discussion also mentions “long-track, strong to potentially violent tornadoes”
At least a few long-track, strong to potentially violent tornadoes are probable, particularly over portions of the Mid-Mississippi Valley to the Mid-South.

Not possible... Probable... This is probably the strongest worded outlook I've ever seen that isn't a high risk.

This also sets up spatially for a high risk corridor. These type of days are why they issue high risks. They’ve made it clear in conversations and social media posts. We’ll see if the trigger is pulled at 1630z or a special update is released via MCD.

Again, confidence must be high that an area will receive convection (supercells), and that convection will have sufficient time within a parameter space that is supportive of tornadic supercells producing significant/violent tornadoes. This has that potential.

Honestly this is the kind of wording usually reserved for high risk outlooks. Kind of surprised they didn’t at least mention the possibility of an upgrade later today.

No clue lol
Is this on all the mesoscale models? Strong UAH does not look to be as widespread as one yesterday’s CAMs.

To put things bluntly, I would be more confident in this MDT Risk if CAMs were trending upward vs. downward as of now.

Do I expect some strong tornadoes? Yes. An intense tornado? Yes. Multiple intense tornadoes? Call me skeptical.
 
Hopefully RRFS comes nowhere near verifying, solid line of sickle hodos and PDS soundings from southern Illinois through central Mississippi as far as I can tell.

Edit: Yeah, it's very much in the territory of an unknown - but concerning nonetheless with this setup.

Yeah, this was my thought, delineate the broad MDT area and then issue more localized high area once it's clearer where things are gonna be focused. Seems like a reasonable approach.
