Severe WX March 23-25th, 2023

I'm afraid that newcomers to storm chasing will go out tonight and get caught in a rough situation. Today's event is not one you want to chase in Mississippi. It's at night with the potential of your rain wrapped large tornadoes that could be violent.

I pray that all storm chasers tonight take caution and don't put themselves in harms way for a potential clout picture on there YouTube channel or Twitter.
 
Biggest change in the Day 1 Outlook is North MS now has a 30% SIG hatch for damaging winds.
 
Interesting, as well as important.
The SVI, the 15% hatched TOR, and the potential for multiple long-tracked supercells remind one of 21 Feb 1971, which has been mentioned often recently in the thread on significant tornadoes. Basically the same region is being impacted once again, its social vulnerabilities having remained unchanged. Hopefully the impacts won’t be as severe this time, but unfortunately the potential is there for a major outbreak in the Delta. The Delhi LA–Inverness MS corridor is in the “bull’s-eye” once more.
 
Gonna exceed that high of 84 today in Smithville, MS probably. As of 11:45am, it is 78 degrees.
 
CAPE values now are in the 1000 range across all of Mississippi.
 


That's pretty much right where the storm of the day fired on 12/23/15. Tracked northeast producing the Clarksdale-Como EF3 and the Holly Springs-Selmer, (TN) EF4 (9 deaths, signs of extremely violent/EF5-potential contextual damage). The moderate risk was further north and much larger that day (compared to today) encompassing most of TN/KY.
