Severe WX March 30th- April 1st 2023 (South, Southeast, Ohio Valley, Upper Midwest)

For me personally, this is the first time that I've seen a Moderate Risk and a High Risk for North MS from 2 separate outbreaks within just a week apart.
 
AR cells strike me the most atm, maturing discrete line with lots of clearing ahead

There are definitely too many chasers on the road and half of them don't know what the hell they're doing. But in the case of Rolling Fork and Silver City, many of those chasers became rapid response resources helping pull trapped people out of rubble. Thank God for the ones who jumped in to help. Some of them are forever changed.
I forgot to mention how many other chasers jumped in right after the storms, including my friend in Silver city. It was amazing to see how many of them turned instantly into first responders helping victims. They're different from the guys who are just out there chasing for the storm chance of getting that "shot" on camera.
 
WOW!!!!! Do yall think this HIGH Risk is justified? Dewpoints in the lower 60s aren't the most buoyant for mega outbreaks. I assume last weeks outbreak plays a part in the upgrade where the MOD otherwise might seem sufficient. I'm leading toward an underperormance & hope I'm right. After last week this is 1 situation where I really don't want to be wrong & I think many others hope I'm right today too.
 
Bad all around but that discrete supercell with a UH streak southwest of Chicago is really concerning. Take it seriously not literally, of course, but the fact that that's on the table is really worrying.

Absolutely, I do.

There's a substantial area of upper 60s dews further south over Arkansas and strong southerly winds at the surface to transport it northward. Moisture shouldn't be an issue.
