4/11/20 - 4/13/20 Severe Weather Outbreak

Because all the perimeters are there for it to be just as bad. We don't know how it will turn out yet. But to say it can't happen again because that happened not too long ago in 2011 is a silly reason to discount that it could happen again.
The parameters for 4/27/2011were better than this event. That event had no flaws.
 
If I had to guess I would say that the current area that is hatched outside of the current moderate risk will be upgraded to moderate tomorrow and the area that is currently moderate will be upgraded to high.
 
Pretty high risk for 8am

To say there is no way this will be as bad as April 2011 because that was a generational event is not professional IMO. At least list reasons as to why it wont be as bad.
 
What does the STP normally have to be to indicate a good chance of tornadoes? I guess I’m asking how far above average are those values?

Even with STP (signifigant tornado perimeter) values around 1-3 can produce good tornadoes but when values start reaching 4-8+ values .. you're talking about the atmosphere easily being able to produce tornadoes and keep them sustained for a while

At the same time, to say this will be as bad as April 27th isn't professional either.

While the setup for April 27th was damn near perfect for an outbreak, there were also a lot of small scale features, such as boundaries being set up from one of the most violent QLCS that Alabama has ever seen that had came through earlier that morning. It's appears that this will be a bad system but we just won't know how bad it will really get until that morning or when the event gets underway.
 
Pretty high risk for 8am

See I've kind of let my guard down based on timing. Mods dont really keep the line that intense as it crosses central and eastern NC and historically early morning tornado outbreaks are rare.

Guess I'll watch it a while longer and see if it slows down timing wise.

Well here is the sounding of this event per the the 12z NAM vs April 27 at BMX. Do a little comparing of the two and you will see there really is no comparing the two.

Also worth noting a outflow boundary was positioned from tuscaloosa through birmingham which aided in intensity for the tuscaloosa/birmingham tornado

The big outflow boundary was the one that sat across North AL, MS and GA. The Hackleburg, Smithville and Rainsville tornadoes formed off of it. That said it likely saved much of TN.
