Well had we had 0-1km helicity across AL around 300 today, it verifies the High easy. However that can be said for a handful of events over the past years as well. Also it’s not like the helicity here busted low, it was fairly well models.
I still can’t get over the Easter Sunday setup, shear was there but it was so messy, imo that setup had a shot to be close to 2011 vs this one
That setup was disgusting, it had more potential to be more nasty then it wasThe closest thing in my mind to 4/27/11 was the day of the Beauregard tornado. Now that event still would have fell well short, but add a stronger EML and move the system north 200 miles. Oh my.
I feel for the folks at NWS that are responsible for issuing the outlooks and trying to decide what threat level this or any event is. It's really a no win situation for them....Had they went more conservative with their guidance and we had a more severe outbreak we would be criticizing them for not doing enough....same thing goes the other way....a lot of people are now saying how they shouldn't have been so bullish in their approach to today's system. Damned if you do and damned if you don't
