Severe 3/24-3/26 possible severe wx

From GSP
By Wednesday, models agree on a shortwave trough spurring coastal
cyclogenesis over the remnant cold frontal band leftover from
Tuesday`s system. Aloft, the polar and subtropical jets align
with the midlevel forcing and could result in rapid deepening
of this system. As a result, a renewed possibility for active
weather on Thursday, as the surface low drags another cold front
through our CWA in the afternoon. QPF is much more impressive
for this system, and with both the GFS and the ECMWF demonstrating
moderate SBCAPE and an 850mb jet producing impressive deep layer
shear, both Wednesday night and Thursday afternoon could bring
another opportunity for thunderstorms. It`s much too early to
dig into either the intensity or timing at this point, but by
Friday evening the last of the frontal precip should have abated,
giving way to dry northeasterly flow.
 
I say BRING IT ON. After this dud of a winter, we might as well have something to track. Helps the day go by faster and apparently severe weather comes to fruition, unlike our "winters."

Well this is not good.
 
Overall look reminds me of 4/2-4/3 2017, - the SE Canada vortex, although it’s not far4A311E34-4B0C-48D2-9DEC-01213894C43D.gif422996EE-16C1-46DE-99FF-09621CA383ED.png35700E24-A121-4F9C-9399-7D8EAB7247FE.png
 
GSP : As is typical, minor variation between model runs in timing the
shortwave and its interaction with the front lead to wider
differences in the weather impacts and their duration. Euro/Canadian
operational solutions depict the new low spinning up closer to the
Ohio Valley, with instability trends that suggest perhaps a discrete
cell threat Thu afternoon, and more of a QLCS threat early Friday
ahead of the cold front. GFS is further south and depicts more
limited instability mainly Thu aftn/evening. Can`t write off the
heavy rain threat entirely, given PWAT values peaking near 1.5" on
GFS and Euro, but right now the strong and veering flow aloft
suggests fast cell motion and severe threat would probably be more
impactful. Worth watching in both respects.
 
Just a bit to early to tell in the Carolinas! The threat is there because the ingredients are there. Location of the low and timing seems a little uncertain.

There’s also the chance the shortwave washes out as it heads East and loses the forcing with it
 
So the crapvection would at least be severe since we’re in warm sector? Lol
If the warm front makes it north, then yes, some models brings in storms before it’s over us which would likely slow progression of one moving north, then you have the cmc/v16 lose forcing as it heads East
 
Thread I made on twitter
solid look for severe wx wrt the 18z GEFS, nice 200mb double barrel jet aloft with plenty of divergence = forcing for ascent and plenty of it (further East becomes more questionable), also a S/W trough rounding the base of a longwave trough, looking like Moisture return should be no problem given centered ridge around the Caribbean, so there should be enough instability/llvl moisture, should be plenty of shear in the low/mid/upper levels given the S/W that’s rounding the base of the trough, once again this type of setup hastons of forcing, so this setup could easily become full of convection in the warm sector, however the ingredients are there for severe weather and some formidable severe weather at that next week, something to watch as it’s getting under day 7, plenty of time for changes. For areas further east like the Carolinas, it becomes more questionable, the shortwave trough could eject to far west and we get the overall cape/shear but lack forcing, however severe is possible in these areas late next week, also need to watch for a cluster of storms near the Gulf coast that could slow and progression of a warm front given the first system leaving some energy at H5 around the gulf coast, this could cause some bust potential but to early to speculate on mesoscale details, the look synoptically is there right now 96A636DC-AD85-41F8-859D-C1CC69CE7DC1.jpeg5BB6726F-587A-4D23-96A3-184FB8585A29.jpeg12D6C6E9-D9E4-4AC8-9ABB-74FD839FDA5C.png5DFE55FA-6114-4856-8FBA-924C1408D3D4.png
