Severe March 9-10 Arklatex/Lower MS Valley/Gulf Coast Severe threat

the HRRR, looks impressive but doesn't show storms firing up in the zones that have the best parameters

Best lift/forcing moving out of the area, soundings also support a bit more linear activity aswell at that time
 
Here’s a sounding from the end of the Hrrr for the areas with higher SPCs/STPs, note the skinny CAPE, lackluster 3CAPE, sfc-3km lapses suck, what looks like a weak stable layer near the sfc developing, still good wind energy/helicity but it’s definitely not a strong tornado sounding, more of a isolated spin up type of sounding 5841CB23-F0C2-41ED-9CCE-F4922296A014.png

First time in a while I don’t really agree with a SPC outlook. Wouldn’t be suprised if they shift it some more tonight.
 
Agree. Looks like overall better dynamics getting pulled north with the departing slp... also short range also picking up the warm front getting further north .... bit

Agree, if y’all can manage to get some instability, then oof, best lift/forcing appears over western TN, please hope for no sun and no discrete supercells or strong tornadoes are possible if those 2 things occur, hope for linear convection, so much wind energy/SRH around there aswell
 
Thing is tho is that other parameters are quite nasty but also so far there are things holding this back, 3CAPE is lacking a lot you can actually see a very weak Cap/EML, nicely moist column, strong SRH/shear, decent SBcape

Looks like low topped supercells/cold core tornadoes or hail may possibly occur in eastern KS tommorow afternoon since there will be decent CAPE/3CAPE, steep lapse rates and a low equilibrium layer, cool dynamic system to say the least, weather is truly interesting

I want to also note that the hrrr has been trending to these storms looking less surface-based and a tad more elevated, struggling with CAPE in the lower levels
