Severe Weather 2025

Sidenote: Love the new RadarOmega update especially with the auto recalculate option for Storm track
 
Could have a few severe storms today over Georgia as this front pushes through. Instability is fairly strong for the season (>2,000 j/kg), and there may be just enough shear in the lower levels to possibly get a couple low-topped supercells going. A few storms have developed around the Atlanta metro and a couple show some very weak, transient rotation. These are always particularly interesting little setups to me, scenarios on the very fringe of what mother nature can work with.

This is a fantasy run from the 12z GFS just to keep in mind but just showing for giggles

This is at 12z on the 21st, and GFS randomly decides that a pretty much near all day svr event takes place with actually robust shear + instability later on but I expect this to disappear next run or if it doesn't, it'll just die off the next run after lol.

I am not sure I like where that is setting up :(

Thoughts @Clancy?
 
May have something before the 21st. "Possible severe" can change quickly in November in the South. From this morning's SPC discussion...

..DISCUSSION...
Modified return flow will slowly build across the western Gulf mid
to late week, with a maritime tropical airmass probably reaching
parts of the TX Gulf Coast next weekend. As mentioned by WPC's EPD,
run-to-run model variability remains high with a large amount of
spread in the potential evolution of a broad upper trough
approaching the West Coast on D5/Thursday. This is well illustrated
by the change in SPC-CSU GEFS-ML probabilistic guidance over the
past 24 hours for D7/Saturday -- from a mesoscale 5% area in the
Mid-MS Valley in yesterday's D8 to a full-latitude 5% from the Rio
Grande to the Great Lakes, along with broad 15% and 30% highlights
from parts of TX/LA to the Mid-MS Valley. While its parent 00Z GFS
appears conducive to severe, over what would likely be a subset of
these large highlights, this latest run lacks any semblance of
continuity. In addition, other models, such as the EC-AIFS suggest a
closed, cutoff low may just be in the process of moving onshore on
D7/Saturday, compared to the progressive, full-latitude trough over
the Great Plains in this GFS run. For this forecast, will upgrade to
Predictability Too Low for D7/Saturday and extend into D8/Sunday for
indications of possible severe, probably focused in the
South-Central States, within a low predictability pattern.
 
Anyone catch the last half of the latest D4-8 from today? Could be something to watch?

DANGIT @MichelleH!!! You @Clancy’ied me LOL!!!!!

But seriously… Will be interesting to see what happens. Tis the (severe) season
 
Well, that is certainly a interesting look. Thermodynamics wouldn't favor convective initiation but LLJ seems to be stinging the whole day and when instability begins to comes in, a around 40 kt LLJ with these kinematics in Eastern TX set up food for thought. Trends need to be closely monitored.

I’m monitoring this pretty closely.

With the upgrade of the Rio Bonito Iguaca tornado to F4, this makes the 2025 tornado season the most violent since 2014. Seven F/EF4+ tornadoes have been confirmed, which is a number that hasn't been seen in almost a decade.
I am only seeing 6 worldwide for 2025?

Note he said "F/EF4 plus"

I noticed this period as potential while it was further out. The GFS and a lot of other globals were aggressive in prior runs, but then lost it and now have brought it back to past form. The change from yesterday’s to today’s CSU-MLP severe probability forecast for Saturday 11/15 shows it well. The 12z EURO, UK, ICON runs today solidify the trend with a serious tone.

18z Operational GFS 500 mb map, from hour ~120 to hour ~170. The kinematics are absolutely incredible, but as is usual with autumn/winter severe events, moisture remains the big question mark. As of now the dewpoints seem unimpressive, but I do believe that the globals are underdoing it at this range. We'll see though.
