Just for giggles, check out the dewpoint map at FH171 on the 18Z GFS. Talk about sharp gradients; its like someone put the 60s dewpoints in a jar across MS/TN.

SPC outlined an area for D6 in the Plains.

...DISCUSSION...
Strong west/southwest flow aloft will exist over the CONUS on
Fri/D4, with an upper high over FL and a large-scale upper trough
over the West. High pressure will be centered over the northern
Plains in the wake of an upper wave exiting the Northeast, with a
cold front roughly from central TX eastward across the Gulf Coast
states. Subtle height rises will occur across the frontal region as
the FL high retrogrades across the Gulf of Mexico. Scattered showers
and weak thunderstorms may occur in this region, mainly north of the
surface boundary with weak instability and little severe risk.

On Sat/D5, an upper low will move across southern CA, while a wave
amplifies in the northwesterly flow over the northern Plains. This
will reinforce high pressure over the Plains and upper/middle MS
Valley, while the boundary across the Gulf Coast states gradually
makes northward progress with a few showers and weak thunderstorms
within that east-west zone from TX into the Carolinas.

By Sun/D6, models are in relatively good agreement showing the upper
low moving east across the Four Corners states with height falls
into the central and southern Plains by 00Z Mon. Surface
moisture/60s F dewpoints will likely surge northward ahead of the
shortwave trough, with low pressure over the central High Plains
Sun/D6 afternoon, deepening as it pivots into IA during the evening.
MUCAPE around 1000 J/kg appears likely from parts of western KS into
OK, and shear will favor supercells beneath a 50 kt low-level jet.
Initial supercells from the surface low southward along the dryline
will favor large hail and a few tornadoes, with damaging wind threat
extending eastward across KS and OK through evening as storms
possibly become linear. As such, a 15% severe area has been added.

Predictability decreases on Mon/D7 as the upper trough moves toward
the Great Lakes, and a surface boundary trails southwestward into
the lower MS Valley. Here, a plume of mid to upper 60s F dewpoints
will likely remain, beneath 50-60 kt midlevel southwesterlies which
will mean a larger component of the deep-layer shear parallel to the
boundary. Instability will be less by this time owing to relatively
warmer midlevel temperatures, but at least some damaging wind
potential may eventually be noted with storms expected along the
cold front. This front is expected to push offshore by Tue/D8, with
lessening threat of severe storms.

Oops my bad.

Since this event is over I turned notifications off for it :)

When I woke up and saw the SPC highlighted next week, I created the new thread.

By the way, you CAN have Talkweather email you every time someone starts a new thread in the “General Discussion” forum lol

Yesterday, I saw that Feb 22 was dead as doornails. I renamed the thread to encompass the next one (Feb 26) - hence why it's "tail end of February 2023", before you made your thread. Can we get a thread merger arranged (since my renaming to encompass the second late Feb event happened before the KevinH thread)?

Merging multiple events in the same thread is not a good idea mr @Lake Martin EF4.

That was evident by the admins asking you to rename this one. THAT should have told you something and/or given a clue that each event needs to have its own SEPARATE thread to avoid concision, etc. This is how it has been up until now and it has worked well.

@JayF @KoD @WesL @StormStalker @Mike S could we PLEASE have a FINAL say once and for all (one way or another) on how threads should be created for events and stick to it?

Thank you
