Severe WX Severe Weather 4/24-4/26

The latest NAM is incredible on Monday. I can't post it right now but taken verbatem, the 00z NAM would probably be a worst possible outcome in terms of envrionment. I wouldn't use it for convection (especially this far out) but the environment is absurd on that run.
I saw that a lil bit ago and yeah nam is insane, if some other cams start showing that too then I am staying up for that d3, granted was alr going to but that nam run has locked that in for me
 
didn't 2008 and 2019 have month long outbreak seqs?? my memory isn't the best so correct me if I am mistaken

I don’t know about a full month, but 2019 featured one that lasted two full weeks. I lived in the Dayton, OH metro at the time and it was pretty traumatizing.

May 2019's was just under two weeks, from McCook on the 17th to the Dayton outbreak on the 27th and the Lawrence, KS tornado on the 28th.

May-June 2008 was the longest duration sequence in my memory. About three weeks of nearly unrelenting tornado activity from May 22-June 12, with only a day or so lull here and there.

I remember watching that storm come across from the Blue Ash area, which is inside the 275 loop. The lightning was absolutely insane. That was an extremely humid and sticky day - most people I knew were at pools.
 
Kinematics across the Middle Mississippi Valley into the Tennessee and Ohio Valleys and the Southeast are pretty remarkable off the 00Z NAM. Anything that can take advantage of these wind fields will be dangerous. The areal coverage of strong (>300 ms/s2) SRH is very impressive. While I still have questions about the southern end of the threat, no one should be playing with a setup that has dynamics like this.

It continued after Dayton, including the Kansas City and Canton, TX area days. It was 14 days total.
 
Concerning overnight tonight, seems to me the HRRR is struggling with this next line currently back in Arkansas/Louisiana. The 3km NAM/12km NAM as well as the latest RRFS has this line affecting southern counties of North MS by 5am Saturday morning. Plus looking at current radar, isolated storms are already starting to pop ahead of this line.
