Ma’am…. You live in CULLMAN, AL lol

Don’t jinx yourself please :)

But next week I will be in Huntsville, my dog will be at the boarder and my son will be home by himself. He's a grown man (and a giant one) and isn't scared of anything EXCEPT tornadoes. At least we have a basement. It's our dog I'm worried about. That and trying to talk myself out of trying to see it if Huntsville goes under a warning.
 
By the way, Cullman is a ticking time bomb. I know all the historical paths through the city and they just keep building up the south end of town. It may not happen until I'm gone from this world, but I can 99% guarantee that the south end with all those businesses and restaurants will take a direct hit someday. April 3, 1974; January 19, 1988; April, 27, 2011...all parallel to each other. But no one wants to hear it.

As @treypops mentioned in another thread, potential for a multi-day severe weather episode is evident in the D5-6 range.

...Day 5/Sat - Southern Plains to the Ozarks vicinity...

Low-amplitude west/southwest mid/upper flow is forecast across the
southern Plains to the Mid-South vicinity for much of the diurnal
period on Saturday. By 00z, forecast guidance suggests a shortwave
trough will eject from the southern Rockies into the southern
Plains, and eventually impinging on the Ozarks/Mid-South area by
Sunday morning. A very moist and unstable airmass is forecast over
the southern Plains vicinity ahead of this feature as a surface warm
front lifts northward through the day. Increasing ascent may not
arrive until after 00-03z, limiting convective initiation until the
nighttime hours. If storms can develop during the day across
portions of OK/TX, all hazards severe potential will exist.
Otherwise, thunderstorm potential may be more likely during the
evening/overnight from north TX into southeast OK and AR as
large-scale ascent increases and a 65-75 kt 500 mb jet overspreads
the region. The north and west bounds of severe potential are a bit
uncertain, so this area may shift in subsequent outlooks.

...Day 6/Sun - Ozarks to the Lower OH and TN Valleys...

An upper shortwave trough will progress across the region on Sunday.
Forecast guidance depicts a 50-60 kt southwesterly 700 mb jet
overspreading the region during the day. Meanwhile, a surface low
will intensify over MO/IL, shifting northeast along the OH River
through the period. A very moist and unstable airmass is depicted
ahead of the low and attendant south/southeastward-progressing cold
front. Intense severe thunderstorms will likely accompany this
system. Consistency among deterministic guidance, favorable synoptic
pattern, as well as CSU/NSSL ML output, support introduction of 15
percent probabilities for Sunday.

Watch the weekend system carefully. I'm not sure how far south the Sunday threat will extend, whether it's mainly Tennessee and north, or it comes down into north MS/AL like the SPC outlook suggests (but that's the direction I'm leaning a little at the moment), but it looks potentially significant. Saturday late afternoon through overnight looks mean across central/east Oklahoma and across Arkansas into southern Missouri.

Fred,

Is this looking like a severe thunderstorm threat; or possibly tornadoes on Sunday?

I know we are still several days out; but will be watching with interest as our church picnic (Hazel Green area of Madison County) is that Sunday afternoon; and we will have 600-800 people out at a local park.

I'm going to assume a tornado threat. Especially how this year has been so far.

Too soon to say (and too soon to use tornado wording on air and things like that), but early indications on the large-scale would suggest it may be a supercellular type threat.
 
Both Saturday in the Southern Plains and Sunday in the Ohio Valley and Tennessee Valley (5/25-26) are looking volatile on the 00z model suite, particularly the Euro and GFS.

Spc just already highlighted large 30 percent over parts midsouth lower Ohio valley regions Sunday ….

Still 4 days out. But Sunday could be shaping up to be a pretty good chase day daily close by…. Get one more chance before we have to wait on fall severe chances for mid south …

Severe Weather Threat 5/25-5/26, 2024

00z Suite paints a volatile solution for both of these days.

Matt P. started an event-specific thread for this earlier this morning, before your 4:12am post earlier, actually.

On today's episode of "international tornadoes I discovered completely by chance", there was a significant tornado in Bassin Bleu, Haiti yesterday.

Wow at that last video, that's some violent motion. It cleanly uproots a tree and throws it to the sky at about 22 seconds.
