Severe WX Severe Weather Threats 1/21-1/22 2017 (Saturday - Sunday)

The storms down along the Gulf Coast are still elevated in nature. Back over Louisiana, those storms are definitely rooted at the surface.
 
I didnt think I would be a county away from a PDS tonight and my philosophy has always been that these storms don't follow lines on a map if something forms Bibb or Shelby and decides to move into Jefferson a line on the map won't stop it. Do I think that will happen not necessarily, but I will say my guard is up just a tick more now.
 
it looks like the enhanced risk was pulled a little further north. I wonder if we are just seeing SPC just being extra cautious, which given the parameters over south Alabama, what we saw out of a lesser event last night, and the fact that this is a late night/early AM threat, would not be surprising. That may explain the enhanced risk being pulled a little further north and the PDS Watch going that far north.
 
We've got a LONG way to go in surface destabilization for this PDS to materialized. Don't take this lightly at all, but color me skeptical....
 
New convective outlook.

I was thinking the same thing! Hoping that is the case.
 
The hatched area for strong tornadoes is Much larger......southern Arkansas/northern Louisiana across central and southern Mississippi and Alabama and into Georgia, and all of the Florida panhandle west of Tallahassee

Oh, yeah, they did expand that way back to the west (and it looks like they trimmed a bit off on the eastern extent of it, which took my family in east Georgia out of it).

Also, hello fellow Maryland-person.
 
A bit off topic, but the last time a PDS tornado watch was issued in January was on January 22, 2012. We all know what happened on the morning of January 23, 2012...
