Severe WX Severe Wx Outbreak March 1st- 3rd, 2023 - Southern States, MS/OH/TN Valley

What I find interesting is that despite those ridiculous ingredients, neither than 3kNAM nor HRRRR (at the extreme end of its range admittedly) are showing much in the way of updraft helicity.
It's likely due to the warm mid level temperatures -> i.e. storm growth is stunted due to weak instability in this layer and you get a lack of robust convection.
 
certainly a notable environment in advance but it remains to be seen if the spacing will exist

What's the probs?
 
Although the first cells do seem to be trying to form, it looks like things might take a little while longer for tonight's main event to begin. How much longer exactly will be up to the atmosphere.
