The Tennessee River here in South Huntsville is already very high. This may be TVA trying to get ahead of the next system but 5-10 inches will cause major problems over the next week if the river doesn’t drop before then.
I think that's exactly what's going on. I like to drive over the bridge between Madison and Morgan county just to see how high the Tennessee River is. I definitely think flooding will be the big story of next week if trends hold. Someone is going to get a lot of rain.

We've seen significant shifts in the model runs this afternoon/evening that would favor a more substantial severe weather threat.

Kory, what day/days are they saying? I keep hearing about a severe weather possibility, but the mets in Huntsville have only talked about the flooding.

Looks like Wednesday yet again for potential severe weather. Flooding issues will begin Monday as the lead portion of the rain moves in and then were the heavy band gets hung up in AL/MS/TN. That to be determined as well.

Yeah, wasn't expecting the SPC to go all in. I do see one potential that might limit the tornado threat along the boundary...that would be veering surface winds. If we can get convection in the warm sector, mode will likely be supercells with an elevated tornado potential.

Oh you're right. Looks like the lower level wind fields have amped up quite a bit from a couple days ago and the surface low deepens and tracks further NW. Is the Euro on board with this?

Yes. Seasonal trend starting with the December 16th event have seen these things have been to trend NW and trend upward. I'd say nearly every event since then has been this way. GFS is woefully awful in the medium range.

Wow. We went from a thunderstorm-only threat to a slight overnight. It's being touted as mostly a hail/wind event with a "low" tornado threat but if instability kicks up, I wonder if they would upgrade it. Looks to be several rounds today, great...

Do we think there will be enough instability to get the Wed/Thu system going? CAPE values are pretty low. Or, is there enough shear that it doesn’t matter?

Mid level temps are a little warm thus you’re seeing lower CAPE values. But, as we’ve seen over and over again, models have under-forecasted surface temps by 5-8 degrees in many cases even 24-48 hours leading up to it. That’s why you can’t take CAPE at face value.

As I said, I see a limiting factor if surface winds veer and/or we don’t get warm sector convection ahead of the boundary.

Thanks to a cap and the cloud cover most of the day, the storms fell apart around DFW. Don't even think I heard a single one last night and I went to bed around 11 PM. Sorry for the bust if you were hoping to see something, @Equus !
