2/15/25 SE Severe Threat

yeah still not super impressed with the OWS potential with this one, weak forcing, weak surface heating, etc. could be a nasty QLCS though.
I’m not too impressed either, but I have learned in set ups like this to never let my guard down as anything can happen.

STP on its own should not be used for tornado forecasting, especially in cases such as these where a linear mode may be dominant. But, I often find it useful for trends, and boy is that a concerning trend on the last few HRRR runs.

Starting to think any embedded/semi-discrete supercell from E AR up into S TN could produce a pretty intense tornado...

Yeah that’s nasty trend for sure
 
Curious as Trey doesn’t see a bullish tornado threat compared to SPC. He’s been right before..View attachment 33787
I feel like in this case, and when it comes to a lot of the chaser sentiments I see, this answer is geared towards the prospect of discrete, photogenic tornadoes. This setup doesn't look to offer that, at least not in abundance. Spin-ups just don't get those chaser juices flowing I think.

Unless you're Reed.

Main change at 1630Z is the addition of a 45% wind contour. SPC anticipates potentially prolific wind threat as the QLCS consolidates. NCAR's CAM analysis models, which I like to use as an additional reference point, maintains strong probabilities for damaging winds, and a secondary threat of tornadoes, well into the night all the way through the morning Sunday. CAM suites still suggest a potent QLCS tornado and damaging wind threat, and HRRR has picked up on some possible discrete activity just out ahead of the QLCS. Not sure it amounts to a meaningful threat, but the signal is there. Regardless of the threat for long-tracked tornadoes, everyone should be prepared for severe storms this evening through Sunday morning in the Deep South.
