Archive March 18-20th, 2018 Severe Weather

Definitely looking like primarily an early overnight event for Georgia. I'm still thinking about trying to chase after work, originally I was targeting Columbus-Bremen, but now I'm thinking if I want to see anything, I'd have to go north and hope it speeds up a little to avoid chasing after dark.

That is a nasty sounding on so many levels it isn't funny.
 
Events where convective initiation is over AL rather than moving in from points west are especially suspenseful. I remember obsessing over any small reflectivity pop-ups last April 5 until the dryline passed.

That will be me tomorrow. My son's new jobs orientation time got changed from 8 to 9 and then they said they would decide based on the weather how long they would be there. This momma is going to be a nervous wreck tomorrow.
 
I'm getting the feeling that this event may wind up being on a level at least similar to, say, 11/15/89 or the April 1998 outbreaks (4/8 and 4/16). Perhaps even the 2002 Veterans' Day outbreak (or at least how the AL part of that event went down, anyway).

In any case, here's hoping that no strong tornadoes end up going through populated areas tomorrow (Knock on wood!)!

Not fully sure that will be the case. Many CAMs have initiation back over NE/E MS.
 
Oh man I hope it's not a November 10 2002 copy, seeing as an EF3 hit literally the exact property we later built our house on, hah. I hope it's a day where no one sees serious damage from an intense tornado.

Yeah... does seem as though initiation point has been pushed west a bit. Would take the waiting and watching factor down just a little and allow for better short term planning here if that's the case.

This is a bit premature don’t you think? I am not sure this will rival these events
 
Seeing a lot of convection in Texas not previously forecasted. I don't think it'll translate to much down the road but worth mentioning.

Yeah, HRRR and RAP have picked up on this. RAP is showing more convection across North AL/GA tomorrow and HRRR isn't as robust with the northern progression of instability as I would've anticipated. Not sure what to make of that but with the EML moving in, one would think most of the convection would be scattered and elevated.
