Severe Severe Threat Dec 10-12 2021

I'm starting off in this thread by introducing the mmfs - mesoscale model and forecast system. (I'll elaborate more on the mmfs in the Whamby thread soon.) For us in North GA, the mmfs is showing the squall line holding together as it progresses east, and storms after the main line. There would be strong straight line winds with the squall as the model is indicating a sharp cut off along the squall. This is a long range mesoscale model and of course it can change. The frame from the model is valid at 23z (6pm) this Saturday.
Edit: The 0z data is coming in now.

The new data from the mmfs is indicating cells ahead of the cold front along the MS River and northeast from there into TN. This is valid at 08:00UTC (3am) Saturday. The mmfs is indicating that these cells would have rotation - introducing tornado and high wind risk. The model is still indicating a squall line developing as the front pushes east. For the NC friends, the mmfs is indicating a storm risk, but the higher chance of storms would be mostly west of the mountains.

Midsouth Memphis to Nashville under a enhanced risk tomorrow evening. With hatched 10 percent tornado risk … see how today’s runs go if instability is slightly underdone a upgrade to moderate risk could follow latter outlooks lower level jet looks to be screaming overnight hours tomorrow nite won’t help things
 
Wow. Been so busy lately I didn't realize there was a bad threat today. SIG TOR and EHI are bonkers. Along with the isolated kidney beans showing up on radar across the Memphis area and north. Following the Mississippi. Big day today. Very large area for strong convection and violent updrafts it appears
 
This is probably a poor question and I apologize...is. the main threat for this so far west that we can't start an observation thread for this event?
Still affecting a majority of group members here so it isn't much of a observation type thread. From Alabama north and Northwest looks to be affected in some capacity.
 
Well alrighty then...

Mesoscale Discussion 1981
NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
0420 PM CST Fri Dec 10 2021

Areas affected...Northeast Texas...far southeast Oklahoma...and far
southwest Arkansas

Concerning...Severe potential...Watch possible

Valid 102220Z - 102345Z

Probability of Watch Issuance...40 percent

SUMMARY...Isolated to widely scattered severe storms are possible
across portions of the Arklatex.

DISCUSSION...High based showers have developed along a dryline which
has recently passed through Dallas. These showers are now moving
into a more moisture rich airmass with dewpoints in the mid 60s.
This is yielding MLCAPE around 1500 to 2000 J/kg beneath strong
mid-level flow and effective shear in excess of 60 knots. Therefore,
further intensification of these showers are possible. The threat
will likely remain isolated, but the environment is quite favorable
for supercells with an initial large hail threat with an increasing
tornado threat with eastward extent. The isolated nature of any
storm development may preclude the need for a watch, but if storm
intensity is great enough or if more storms develop, a watch may be
needed.

A merger is happening with this cell. May ramp up in intensity in a secondScreenshot_20211210-182208.png
 
There we go. It's about to be off to the races. A lot of area for it to thrive. It's starting to work the kinks out. With well defined outflow and inflow Screenshot_20211210-182455.png
 
The cell cycled some, inflow and outflow size got bigger. Looks like it's strengthening heading into Jonesboro.
 
Bad news
