Severe Harvey Severe Weather Threat (Aug 31 - Sep 1)

Need a little more instability but the wind profile is stout

My local forecast on TWC actually says for tomorrow: Thunderstorms, with tornadoes possible!
Have never seen that wording used!:(
 
Got a wedge here in northern georgia so I'm pretty sure we are safe.

Isn't that what is supposed to be causing the tornado threat with Harvey anyway due to opposing winds? If not, then we could be fine, but seeing slight risk for today and numerous models showing decent CAPE and tornado possibilities is not that good.

I was looking at the NAM, and it looks like we have decent values on the Supercell composite indexs, but our CAPE is lacking. Not really sure how the dynamics of a tropical system would interact with CAD?
 
RAH said this morning we'll probably get cooler air and rain here to stabilize things tomorrow, and the bullseye should be towards Fayeteville and southeast of here, but it could shift either way. Have to still pay attention for sure.

Here's part of their discussion this morning.

The current models are stronger with
the push of cooler, more stable, rain cooled air deep into the
northern and even central parts of NC. Therefore the slight risk
or the highest potential for severe weather has been shifted just to
the south of the Triad and Triangle areas, with areas from Albemarle
to Fayetteville expected in the bulls eye. This could very well
shift 50 miles either way, so stay tuned to later forecasts.

No sign of the sun yet here in Dallas,GA to fuel these storms.. I'm starting to wonder if the wedge will win out here once again..
 
Sun out here at my office in Homewood AL. Seeing several warning in MS in the band approaching the AL boarder.

Wow that Reform elementary school webcam shot on 33/40 was crazy. Tornado on the ground. Luckily the school dodged a major bullet but man was it close
 
Homes damaged and people trapped in Reform and Palmetto. Folks in Fayette need to seek shelter immediately. Circulation is wrapping back up
 
4 Strong Couplets Fayette, Gordo, Detroit and Near Kennedy AL at this time... These look almost spring like vs typical Tropical spin ups
 
Tomorrow could be a pretty wild day across NC and northern Sc.

Agree. Where the wedge front sets up will decide this and I'm betting it's farther south than models show. The GSP metro through Charlote and on to Raleigh is where I'm thing the worst will be. Basically 30-50 miles north and south of I-85 in SC and NC.

It'll be interesting to watch the evolution. The rain tonight and any morning convection should aid in getting the front south but it's bumping up against a stout south flow. Personally I think the wedge from sets up just north of 74 in southern NC.

Not a bad call on the wedge boundary..... I got to say, I am getting a little nervous about the possibilities for tomorrow. A lot of folks will be watching the radar closely.

That would mean overrunning precip for us.
