Severe WX March 3rd-5th 2025 Severe Weather Threat

SVA expanded eastward. SPC also says a Tornado Watch will be needed for the Panhandle, as rising dews are making their way inland alongside the extremely strong kinematics present.
Mesoscale Discussion 0142
NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
1028 PM CST Tue Mar 04 2025

Areas affected...Florida Panhandle...Southeast Alabama...Southwest
Georgia

Concerning...Severe potential...Tornado Watch likely

Valid 050428Z - 050530Z

Probability of Watch Issuance...80 percent

SUMMARY...New Tornado Watch appears warranted.

DISCUSSION...Mid 60s surface dew points have nosed inland ahead of
the squall line across the western Florida Panhandle. This air mass
is providing a bit more buoyancy along southern portions of the MCS,
which may enhance updraft strength and potential severe. Forecast
soundings suggest near-surface based convection with 65 dew point,
but lifted parcels are still likely a bit elevated. Latest buoy data
suggests 67 dew point is just offshore and this may advance inland
ahead of the line. Given the very strong shear, there is increasing
concern for damaging winds, and perhaps a few tornadoes. New Tornado
watch will likely be issued soon.

I’m going to bed
 
Lights have started flickering here due to the gradient winds.
 
SVR for me now. These storms have really stuck together despite abysmal thermos. Warning includes over 1.1 million people.

How much y’all wanna bet the March 14th trough ain’t gonna be anything special either?

“Ohhh look another major tornado outbreak signal on the long range models ooooo pretty.”

Baaahhh. Its not worth looking at so closely so far out.

just watch it like every signal at these ranges, don't listen to the weenies who use the gfs 240hr fantasy run majic
 
But….if this next one actually turns into something truely major I’ll be surprised.
One event has occurred since the beginning of meteorological spring, and it dealt with big moisture issues, not atypical of an early spring setup. Big days can and will show up this far out, so it definitely still bears watching. There’s no need for any hyping up just yet though, I think waiting till ~7 days out is typically best for becoming much more confident on what’ll occur. But we absolutely shouldn’t be writing this one off until models tell us otherwise.

Basically what I was trying to say is…watch, but don’t make a call either way I guess…
Or…sheesh. Nvm. I can’t decide what to think this morning.
