Severe WX April 3-6 Severe weather

I wouldn't be surprised if tommorow ends up being potentially out third high risk of the year.
I'm putting it off the table. 500mb jet translation speed is very slow, I believe under 20 knots unless Andrew Shearer's math is wrong. That's a highly essential component to the RIV (Risk Impact Value) formula, so unless everything else is incredible to make up for it, I don't know if we'll see it.
In case you haven't read on the RIV/OMEGA Project by Broyles, you should.
 
So I have the look at Friday in now. I'll probably run a new model later, but here's the take from my model on Friday's threat. Remember it's 2km resolution, so it has 125% more grid cells than the HRRR.


The threat looks minimal (if my model verifies) until around 5 PM CDT. The threat algorithm isn't picking up much, but the supercells popping off look gnarly.

Okay, here we go *sadface* By 6 PM, those supercells from the 5 PM frame are tornadic quite possibly, with some very extreme parameters involved.

At 7 PM, that same cell that was High at 6 PM is High again, and all hell is breaking lose officially. That cell is explicitly being forecast to be high-end tornadic, with UH approaching 600.

At 8 PM. Geez, do I even need to say anything? Arkansas is getting demolished.

Thankfully, after 9PM or so, it dies down very quickly overnight. But for a few hours, it's very intense. I'd say North-Central and North-East Arkansas needs to prepare for a major situation tomorrow evening. Let's see what the 0z models, including the HRRR have to say.

Dang @wx_guy thank you though man!

Even with the warm front to the south they still produce tornadoes? I'm a bit skeptical honestly. We'll have to see though.
