Severe Severe potential April 13th-15th Palm Sunday Weekend

Enhanced skips Alabama doesn't look that bad now here I guess cause it's coming in the morning time
 
I'll be driving into the enhanced area Sunday. Taking the family to Pigeon Forge and Dollywood for a couple of days over Spring Break. Hope we get there before the storms start.
 
Wow, I didnt think it would be that far east.it skipped most of AL.
Doesnt appear to skip Alabama at all. The whole state is under a slight risk during the period which is all that is warranted attm.

Personally, I think there really isn't that much difference between marginal and slight, and between enhanced and moderate. I think it would be better if they just used slight, moderate, and high for the categories.

I think enhanced and marginal were created as buffer categories so that way would prevent major busts. If they aren't sure if an area will have stronger or weaker storms, they will add either that fits in case a few severe storms become either very few to none or a larger group of them.
 
Not good! ... there will be no damming wedge in place to save us folks east of the mountains this time.
Lol there was no wedge with the last enhanced risk. Honestly, looking at this setup, it doesn’t look ideal for western NC. Very moist ground and rainy leading up to it will likely produce at least some clouds/fog to stint instability. I see a greater risk of some flooding.
 
Someone said we wouldn't be lacking instability now look we lack instability let me know when there's a real threat and to be concerned besides a guest of wind because we hardly get damaging wind either here

This threat is definitely different than the last one .. would take it more serious given we’re getting enhanced on a day 3 and not a day 1
 
Sunday has my attention...

"80 to 100 kt south-southwest flow at mid levels...Primary storm mode is progged to be banded/loosely linear, with embedded/complex bows and rotating updrafts."

This time there’s much stronger wind energy, if storms don’t get torn apart, there will likely be some rotating storms
 
NAM is looking bad for Saturday. It's been doing that nonstop ever since it got into range.

Long range HRRR has off the charts literally STP values over lousianna
 
Looks awful for Louisiana tomorrow. Wish we had some posters from there. I don't think they are used to having tornadoes there, either.
 
I don't think alabama is out of the risk on this system we won't have it as bad. But nws of bham like i was talking about yesterday they're unsure how much instability will be there. Ive always thought that models are under doing it a tad bit. Because they're a strong LLJ. And dew points are in the upper 60s. Screenshot_20190412-100132_Samsung Internet.jpg

I'm obviously very new here, but the general vibe in arklatex is complacency with severe weather because, while we do get some nasty storms, we don't really see the worst mother nature has to offer. I remember a few years ago there was a high risk day setup similar to this system, and it (thankfully) did not turn out as dire as it seemed. I worry people won't take a PDS severe threat seriously around here. (Again I am very new here and am only just beginning to seriously look into learning a lot about severe weather but just thought I'd offer input from the area).
 
Little kink/dogleg in the line aswell, has a little axis of 200 ms2-s SRH, this radar ain’t the best so I can’t really tell if that’s rotation

Northwest Louisiana here. I know i'm keeping all my people alert about the potential for Saturday. Tornadoes are fairly common around here, but it's been a while since we've had a major tornado. 1999 comes to mind. F4 tornado left 7 dead as it tore through north Bossier and Benton. Had a weak one last year that ran though Shreveport/Bossier killing a small child.

I hear lots of chasers are coming down so that tells me it's going to be bad lol. Everybody hates chasing down here. If you're down here chasing, I-49 north of Shreveport is decent.. has some semi flat land and decent viewing, FWIW.

Storm chasing is so dangerous in the south unfortunately. If anybody goes they better know how to navigate because potential exists for some wicked tornadoes.
