Severe WX April 11th-13th, 2020 Severe Weather Threat

I think 4/27 has really skewed the idea of what a high end event here is; an event with a fourth of the violent tornadoes that day is still an extremely high end outbreak for this region... here's hoping tomorrow isn't comparable at all with those numbers

To me personally, saying things about 4-27-11 just reminds people that a huge outbreak can happen. We had forgot what something like that was since the previous was in 1974.
 
Tony Lyza, Alan Gerard, and a few others have thrown out 3/21/32 as a better synoptic analog than 4/27/11. I’m just now diving into the CAMs and analogs.
 
The Eastern Seaboard Sunday overnight and Monday has continually looked quite problematic on the NAM guidance. Extreme shear profiles and enough instability for any QLCS or broken line to utilize them.

Yeah I'm not looking forward to Monday morning. We already had one small high shear/low CAPE tornado event up here that produced a few small tornadoes in Maryland in February.
 
The new Day 2 Outlook also increased the damaging wind probs to 45% (non-hatched):

Not to be too silly at a serious moment, but in light of our earlier discussion...


I think we can all agree, that this is the most serious SE Outbreak setup SINCE 04/27.. and just leave it at that. The Meso features are what will influence this for most areas. Although I do think the OLCS/dry line will be worse than the 4/27 evening one was.
