i have a good feeling after looking at data n such, that todays 12z gfs will show case a powerhouse storm system around the end of this month... popcorn

well looking at todays 12zgfs, 3 systems on board... but first one later this wees is very meager in terms of severe... next 2, one around end month, and little after that have great potential... better qualiy moisture return from not only the gulf but the caribbean as well... as th se ridge trys to get stepper baseed.

Long-range 12z GFS/Euro continue the look from earlier runs with several days of low-level gulf moisture return prior to the energy arriving. If the PNA stays quasi-positive, and if the NAO goes negative, theres bound to be some mischief somewhere.

eric, what you think about the 18z nam? there is actually some nader parameters poping up on that run... but alot of question marks still.

Pretty strong support from the extended range gfs ensembles for a powerful LPS that takes a track that would be conducive for severe weather here in TN around the 27th of the month

Thursday, to me, ranks slightly more than a "meh"...maybe a "hmphf". Upper level support is split between the PFJ and the STJ. With the state in that position, there's no upper level support. Temps/Tds look good, EHI looks decent (but it's more instability than actual helicity), lapse rates are mediocre, virtually no low-level wind shear.

I just want to say that our usernames now have more colors than an Earl Barker NAM snow map.

Carry on.

the oznam is way less amplified with the system, wind shear is way directional... to bad, cause we have some nice dew to work with, and temps. well i am fixing to call it early tonight. work tomorrow. interested in the euro 7 to day 10 range big time... see what happens tonight

Squall line doesn't actually enter Mid TN until 0z Friday (6pm Thurs). My thoughts are forthcoming......

Yeah I deleted my post after realizing that that one isn't the one you guys were talking about. This is why I should stick to reading and not posting in severe threads!

No sweat Stove. As promised:

Looking at the data, there's rather remarkable consensus among several of the model suites this morning concerning the synoptic setup; the 12z NAM, 12z GFS, and the 09z SREF all tell a similar story, pushing the cold front through the midstate around 6pm (give or take an hour or two). Working from the surface up, temps look to range between 63-67F, with the SREF peaking at 68F. Dew points are meager, ranging from 50-55F. The 12z NAM progs them to be closer to 60F, and given the timeframe, I'm inclined to believe that. Instability values are virtually non-existent with the highest readings given by the NAM (as high as 1250 j/kg across portions of west TN). Both the GFS and the SREF don't prog them any higher than 750 j/kg, probably due to the lower dew points. My money's still with the NAM. EHIs are considerably lower than the 18z runs from last night and peak out at a "reasonable" 1.0-1.5 across the western 2/3rds of the state. SRH values are equally as reasonable with both 0-1km and 0-3km SRH values being 200 m2/s2 before FROPA.

Both the 12z NAM and 12z GFS show a rather broad-based trough approaching the midsouth with massive upper-level wind fields, but they're a mess. Unless the data changes, the wind fields just aren't concentrated enough to provide enough divergence to support much of a severe threat. I still expect a squall line to march through here, especially given the nature of the warm air ahead of it, and the cold air behind it, but wouldn't expect much more than a damaging wind threat.

Interesting look from the 12z Euro concerning the system at the end of the month...heights look to take a plunge over the Ohio/Mississippi Valleys, but with an associated shortwave, but the moisture machine decides to take a vacation as the BA high retrogrades back northeast. Winds turn northwest at H85 and the surface looks funky.

18z NAM has raised thermodynamic profiles a few degrees...still nothing to be concerned with (yet), but worth noting.
