Pattern Magnificent March

All of the Mets in B'ham have already mentioned a "vigorous system that will need to be watched for severe weather" during this time period, and now we have a thread.

From the last line of the long term section from the most recent BMX AFD:

"Confidence just isn`t there with how the parameters
are lining up to mention any severe threat for Thursday/Friday right
now."

Why was a thread made?

You will have to ask DadofJax. Obviously some mets and others think the system needs to be watched. No one I read said there would be severe, just a vigorous storm system that should be watched this time of year. And with the map above by pcbjr, as strong cold front is modeled to be coming through at some point after the upper 70s and near 80 late next week.
 
Don’t care what happens in the weather world, as long as Duke loses tonight, all is right in the world! I think I’ll road trip to Roxboro tomorrow!
 
hit the 90s in the Amarillo area... literally the only place I'd ever move to in the state of Texas..
 
We have the right background state to take advantage of a favorable synoptic pattern for severe weather, we just need a trigger to set off this powder keg and who knows when/if we'll get that. Still gives me the chills we're following 2011 this closely even though obviously the inter-event variability is so large it doesn't necessarily effectively downscale the way you think it would but that's besides the point. A hot and dry high plains adjacent to a warmer than normal Gulf of Mexico and relatively beign/wetter than average central MS valley is a recipe for big trouble if other pieces cooperate. There's a very good reason we had a dry line penetrate all the way into AL, MS, and TN last week, this EML is insane thanks to the drought over west Texas, Oklahoma, and Kansas and the rest of the southwestern US.

been a rough few months there... extreme drought and basically no snow(in the one place in the state that usually sees a ton). At least we've had plenty of rain
 
I like small to mid sized cities, where there's at least a year to year chance of seeing snow.. no idea how the economy is there. Probably not that good. Ideally I'd move to the front range, Pueblo or Colorado Springs.
 
The Euro and GFS look mighty interesting for NC and SC on Friday wrt severe weather, pretty decent looking synoptic setup w/ a low passing to our NW over the apps, nice deep layer veering and shear, convective looking precipitation field and there's some marginal CAPE to work with (which will likely be a limiting factor)

I think its time for you to start planning on a move north ;)

lol I always have plans but I actually don't hate this little corner of Dallas which is basically a moderate size town where I live and work is so close so its complicated :p

Definitely something that will not happen soon

temps doing some crazy things tonight here in Chattanooga... went from 57 around 9 pm to 64 at 2 am, then dropped to 50 currently... guess we're getting on the other side of the Low now.
 
While Hunter AAFB is as of 10 AM still at 64, KSAV (airport that is only 8 miles from Hunter) has dropped in one hour due to a wind shift from light W winds to moderate N winds from 64 to 52! Can you say well defined wedge front?
 
Wow, what a wedge front! At 4PM, it was a warm 76 in KJAX but a chilly 52 in Brunswick just 60 to the north!
 
This wedge is incredible...

About the stongest of a Spring Wedge that I can remember.. 41 for me here now .meanwhile FFC is 68.

Where were all these cads back when it was cold?? It was cold, right? So long ago..... Anyway cads out in front on Goofy...it's all about timing in the south...whether is off by 6 hours or two months...it's still off down here :) T
 
This is easily one of the most incredible/memorable spring wedges for me. I won't soon forget this one. While practically everyone else I know here is complaining about it being cold, I'm loving every minute of it and expect to be walking out in it in a few hours.
 
The wind has been quite brisk at times as well... this morning before daybreak I was having gusts 30-35... just cuts right through you for sure!
 
Geez...old man Winter is angry!! This is night 3 of gusty winds just slamming into the house. Certainly doesn’t help that my portion of the neighborhood is perched on a large hill either. It’s been gusting 25-30 most the evening and really hasn’t let up much. One hell of a wedge. 44 this hour but feels colder with the showers coming down at times.
