Perhaps GSP believes the wedge may put a hamper on activity? The wedge has broken down east of Charlotte.
Storm chasing is boring. Lol rather chase hurricanes
Careful bout bashing. Okay to disagree but please don’t bash nws
Not trying to bash, but people read into everything they say and if they make zero mention of the possibilities of tornadoes, people won't be prepared and will just brush it off like it's a common storm system.
So far, you can clearly see the effects of the meager low level lapse rates and high shear on radar.
Sure, just avoid the “nws sucks, nws is pathetic” language. Opinions are fine and welcome!
One thing I can say is there is a lot of lightning with this system
From FFC with regard to tornado frequency, this map illustrates quite well that the region between LaGrange, Rome, and the western half of ATL metro (look at all of the red) has since 1950 been quite a bit more dangerous than CAD country (triple in many cases) outside of Hall County. I also find it interesting how relatively few tornadoes have occurred in Paulding and Douglas to the W of ATL (they're light blue and surrounded by red). Also, note from FFC:
"The average number of tornado days is 6 per year. While tornadoes have been reported in all months of the year, most occur in the March-April-May time frame. During this "tornado season" the most likely time of occurrence is from mid afternoon through early evening.
Tornado intensities of F2 or greater are involved in 37% of the events when the data are broken down into a county-by-county basis. These strong tornadoes are more likely to occur during the month of April than in any other month. During the period 1950 - 1993, 72 people lost their lives in tornadoes. Almost 1700 were injured."

Okay, will do! But I do think it's irresponsible of them not to mention it. Unless mentioning the NAM being the direst was an indirect way to communicate the tornado threat? Again... this is only my opinion.
Eh, they are probably betting on the wedge.
Confirmed tornado near Ackerman, Mississippi.
Feels like a bust to me. Storms in Mississippi are not taking off. Even in warm environment. Yes, to early to call but jmo

I will be completely honest, the HRRR has not looked very dangerous for Mississippi to me. It clearly shows a strengthening QLCS line of storms in Alabama though, specifically central alabama.

I was expecting to see some tornadoes in southern MS by now. Isn’t this the most favorable area right now? I’m not sad about the lack of tornadoes for sure!
