Severe WX Severe Threat 17-18 March 2021

[Kolle]

Brad Travis just mentioned Tupelo is 79 while Muscle Shoals is still in the low 60s. Warm front seems to be struggling to get north.

Give it time.

 

[Equus]

Got a massive blob of disorganized convection heading in to Walker, might keep temps down and skies overcast a while longer. Still waiting to see if stuff in Mississippi will fire.

We need to keep in mind this isn’t even the main show, nor was it expected to be. Once we start seeing the LLJ kick up, it’s going to be problematic.

Moundville storm is on a track, historically, that is less than ideal

[Equus]

66/64 here, very dark and thundery, lots of disorganized rain moving in. Hoping that keeps things slightly more stable but still could clear out behind it. Long day to go.

[Weatherphreak]

33/40 should have a pretty good view of it with their tower cam.

 

[Argus]

Took the dog out for a walk and the rain started again. Still 55 at the moment. This could be the warm front.

 

[CheeselandSkies]

33/40 should have a pretty good view of it with their tower cam.

Ironically 12/16/00 was a common analog on forecast soundings leading into today. They're not supposed to be that precise.

 

[Equus]

Goodness Tuscaloosa county storm looks violent.
