Now that we made it through yesterday it's time to look at our next severe threat. I wish I could say this one was a cut and dry set up but it still has some questions to answer. Some things are clear. The amount of instability available looks to be about the same as yesterday...just over a larger area. There could be a zone of higher instability across northern MS and AL. The amount of wind shear present Saturday will be enormous. Much more than yesterday. Upwards of 80kts or more of shear will be in place. Normally, that would be extremely concerning but due to some other parameters that might be mitigated some. Depending on the model, the winds are coming in parallel to the front which favors a more linear storm structure. That tends to be less favorable for tornadoes as it leads to a messy storm structure. However, the NAM is trending towards a more negatively tilted trough which makes the winds more perpendicular to the front and would cause more discrete cells. If that were to happen then Saturday could be an extremely active day. Just don't know if that will happen or the more linear from the euro and gfs. Even if the more parallel soliton happens, with that amount of shear it will be possible to super cell structures embedded within the line and bowing segments and those will have at least some tornado threat (think the Winfield tornado last night). Hopefully, this all starts to get resolved in the next 24-36 hours. As of right now the SPC has maintained a slight risk but that could easily go to a minimum of enhanced if the NAM solution even partially verifies. If it fully verifies then a moderate risk would likely exist and it's possible you start to see the word outbreak thrown around. Just have to wait and see. Timing for north MS looks to be morning to early afternoon and afternoon to evening for south MS. This could be a little later if the NAM verifies as it would also be slower.
