Hopefully mayfield is spared, they have been a hot spot

If they issue a moderate, it should be for winds not tornado, nothing looks any different from the tornado outlooked on things to me.

But it will be for both.

 

[Justin Hindman]

Moderate is out

I am not sure what it is about PAH but I've seen this trend through multiple events that they go from this to THIS in a blink of an eye. That said, I am not in their shoes / chairs, so I know they only working with what's given to them.

...THERE IS A MODERATE RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS
SOUTH-CENTRAL AND SOUTHEAST MISSOURI...FAR NORTHEAST
ARKANSAS...SOUTHERN ILLINOIS...FAR SOUTHWEST INDIANA...WESTERN
KENTUCKY...AND NORTHWEST TENNESSEE....

..SUMMARY

SEVERE STORMS ARE EXPECTED FROM THE OZARKS THIS AFTERNOON AND
EVENING TO THE OHIO AND TENNESSEE VALLEY TONIGHT. TORNADOES, SOME
STRONG TO INTENSE, AND LARGE TO VERY LARGE HAIL ARE THE PRIMARY
THREATS THIS AFTERNOON AND EVENING WITH AN EVOLVING OVERNIGHT SEVERE
WIND/EMBEDDED TORNADO THREAT TONIGHT.

PRIMARY FOCUS OF THIS OUTLOOK UPDATE WAS A MODERATE RISK UPGRADE
FROM SOUTH-CENTRAL MISSOURI INTO WESTERN KENTUCKY AND NORTHWEST
TENNESSEE. AN EML HAS ADVECTED ACROSS THIS REGION IN THE WAKE OF
MORNING CONVECTION WHICH HAS PERMITTED STRONG HEATING AND
DESTABILIZATION. THE OUTFLOW BOUNDARY AND THE DESTABILIZED REGION
NORTH OF THIS BOUNDARY PROVIDE A VORTICITY RICH LOW-LEVEL AIRMASS
FAVORABLE FOR TORNADOES. SUPERCELLS ARE ALREADY STARTING TO DEVELOP
IN THE HOT AND UNSTABLE AIRMASS ACROSS SOUTHWEST MISSOURI AND WILL
MOVE TOWARD THIS VORTICITY RICH AIRMASS THIS EVENING. ADDITIONALLY,
A STRENGTHENING LOW-LEVEL JET IS EXPECTED ACROSS THIS AREA TONIGHT
WHICH WILL ELONGATE LOW-LEVEL HODOGRAPHS. MOST MEMBERS OF THE 18Z
AND 19Z WOFS SHOW SEVERAL INTENSE, LONG TRACK SUPERCELLS THROUGH
THIS REGION LATER THIS EVENING WITH INCREASED 0-2KM UH
PROBABILITIES, GIVING MORE SUPPORTING EVIDENCE FOR THE RAPIDLY
EVOLVING TORNADO THREAT. GIVEN THE AFOREMENTIONED FACTORS, SEVERAL
STRONG TO INTENSE TORNADOES ARE POSSIBLE THIS EVENING. SEE MCD #980
FOR ADDITIONAL INFORMATION ABOUT THE EVOLVING THREAT IN THIS REGION.

EVENTUALLY, THESE SUPERCELLS WILL LIKELY CONGEAL INTO AN MCS WHICH
AMID EXTREME INSTABILITY, STRONG SHEAR, AND STEEP LAPSE RATES, WILL
LIKELY HAVE A SIGNIFICANT WIND THREAT INTO THE LATE EVENING AND
EARLY OVERNIGHT HOURS.

IN ADDITION, ADDED A SMALL MARGINAL RISK ACROSS SOUTHWEST SOUTH
DAKOTA AND NORTHERN NORTH DAKOTA WHERE A FEW STRONGER STORMS HAVE
DEVELOPED AMID WEAK INSTABILITY AND MODERATE SHEAR. SEE MCD 982 FOR
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION ABOUT THIS THREAT.

Wow, some areas just got bumped up from a MRGL to a MDT.

 

[tennessee storm chaser]

Right? I keep refreshing cod lol

Big changes is coming

Hopefully mayfield is spared, they have been a hot spot

that whole county is a tornado magnet

 

[CheeselandSkies]

19Z HRRR wants a discrete supercell through the southern Chicago metro, in the marginal/sub-2%.

 

[Maxis_s]

Noticing a couple things with this outlook.
45% hail was added despite not being mentioned in the original MCD.
"Several strong to intense tornadoes" and "several intense, long track supercells" mentioned.
I could see a possible PDS watch being issued, this seems like another high-end threat. Pretty strong wording overall.

 

[Clancy]

That's a massive expansion of the significant tornado risk. All the way into northern MS and AL.

Interesting how they note a cap set in, setting stage for quite the atmosphere

 

[TornadoFan]

I uh...did not expect to come back to this.
