GFS continues to be the fastest of all guidance. The occlusion of the trough sooner as models have been trending toward would likely favor a slower solution.

Last night the EURO, and UK had a much stronger, broader, and lengthy low level jet of 50-70knts whereas the CMC, and GFS were not as impressive.

12z Euro still painting a fairly omnious solution for AL on Saturday. Low level shear seems to be on the increase these last couple runs as well. Timing may be the biggest uncertainty in terms of how robust this threat gets, but even an overnight timing would still yield a fairly substantial severe threat for parts of AL.

Brad Travis says Saturday’s squall Line will be very slow moving and not to Huntsville until late Saturday night. I hope there are no supercells ahead of the line as I plan to go to Chattanooga for the day Saturday. If the line moves that slow, flash flooding may become an issue.

Jason Simpson from WHNT 19 just posted this tweet. Seems to think severe chances are low for Saturday.

Kind of surprising. The NAM and Euro both are not supportive of his idea as of now.

Edit: On his post, he's basing his forecast solely on the GFS and pretty much acknowledges that fact. Not sure I'd advise doing that..

Based on the looks of the NAM trough Saturday morning, and the way the GFS has been trending. I think this threat potential is going up instead of down.

Yeah I'm not sure why he is basing his forecast on the GFS. Jason has kind of boxed himself into the “little to no severe weather expected” corner. Unless the whole darn set up disappears tomorrow he's gonna have to increase his wording. Brad Travis from WAFF 48 on the other hand is relying more on the EURO which is probably better.

Here is Brad Travis's Facebook update from Tuesday night.

I'm going to cut Jason a bit of slack on this system. I think he's still recovering from his illness earlier this year and Brody, his youngest, was recently in the hospital and gave everybody a scare. (He's OK, though, thank God.)

Oh yeah I don't mean any disrespect to him at all, especially with all the health struggles that have been running through his family recently. I just found it somewhat of an interesting forecast on his part.
