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.
New PDS for the southern high risk is up

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.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 had to wait for the SPC website to update with the probs lol not sure where else to see themToo slow, @KevinH
Absolutely, I do.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.
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.WOW!!!!!

The southern storm already has a three body scatter spike on it.Cells south of DMX getting that look already, racing NE.
