The Weather Channel is hyping the severe threat like crazy. Everyone I talk to wants to know if schools should close because of the chance for severe weather. I keep checking the hires models and see cool temps at the surface with higher temps aloft and generally lackluster instability around here. It's like crazy town out there.Crazy A North Alabama school has gone to a virtual day for tomorrow's event? Can't say I support that move with the amount of uncertainty. It seems like they close schools now for the chance of drizzle?
If you got them snow days set aside, take-em while you can! Certainly aren't going to be using them for snow. What's up with these decisions?Schools closing tomorrow in GA. That makes 2 days this week they have closed because of severe weather.
Ever tried to drive a bus or other high profile vehicle in a high wind warning?If you got them snow days set aside, take-em while you can! Certainly aren't going to be using them for snow. What's up with these decisions?
Crazy enough greenwood SC did not cancel school. I thought they would considering they usually do with severe weather.Spartanburg school districts starting to announce closures for tomorrow
The SPC still has a slight risk basically south and east of I-85. Hard to believe with the amount of frost I scraped off my car this morning.Nothing screams severe like 28 degrees and mega frost as clouds starting to whisp in. Some rain and breezy is all i expect here latter today
42 degrees as this "line" which is more of scattered storms rolls through. We were closer to an ice event than sever weather here if anything, which shows just how unlikely severe was to begin.The ceiling was high, but the floor was so much lower. Looks like we are closer to the floor on this one.
No "storm" about it. Just rain. No lightning, either. I bet the tops of the clouds are below 20k ft.42 degrees as this "line" which is more of scattered storms rolls through. We were closer to an ice event than sever weather here if anything, which shows just how unlikely severe was to begin.
I had a few decently close rumbles of thunder but its hard to get real storms in the mid 40s.42 degrees as this "line" which is more of scattered storms rolls through. We were closer to an ice event than sever weather here if anything, which shows just how unlikely severe was to begin.
Yeah, Tempest "saw" 4 strikes in the last hour-I sit corrected.I had a few decently close rumbles of thunder but its hard to get real storms in the mid 40s.
Yes, the SPC freaked everyone out and then quietly said "sike...".Can't think of another time a D2 enhanced was dropped to marginal like that
Yes, but this is a huge bust and reputation killer. They presented the threat like it was going to be spring like severe weather outbreak for what turned out to to be a typical southern winter rainy day. Will anyone remember? Are they going to tune out the warnings next time? I'm already fielding calls from friends and family asking me if the forecast is real or not. That tells me people are already very skeptical of the government weather service. It's probably time to privatize it. The most accurate service gets the money.Yeah, I walked outside early this morning and was saying to myself "they REALLY think there's a chance of severe weather today?"
Man was it cold. We wound up overshooting the low predicted to boot (ended up at 30 instead of 36) and had a nice frost as well.
Airmass recovery was nearly impossible I. Such a short time window. Had a warm, unstable airmass been in place for a couple days... Whole different ballgame today.Can't think of another time a D2 enhanced was dropped to marginal like that
All of the hires models indicated this. Why did they discount them? I mean, only the HRRR had any semblance of surface based CAPE and it was confined to the gulf coast, away from the best forcing.Airmass recovery was nearly impossible I. Such a short time window.

We all were digging deep to find the instability, and saw none. Wind fields were indeed impressive, but we saw we couldn't crap gold from a 6 pack of tacos and burritos.All of the hires models indicated this. Why did they discount them?
