That area definitely seems reasonable. Especially for thursday. I will make another graphic later today. But right now, looks like a big outbreak on thursday around the area you indicated and me as well, then on friday another outbreak but maybe a little further west as this time the low will be further west according to the latest gfs, but either way the same area could see severe weather two days in a row. Also, it appears a major snowstorm is likely across the northern plains into MN with these storms if the 06Z gfs is right.

This is my map for the entire time that severe weather is possible. This map could easily change though.

Here is a VERY Early map for Thursday ONLY. Nice to see general agreement with others who have made a map. Lots of change is very possible with this.
EDIT...18z GFS is a good bit weaker and further south than 12z. It would imply a southward shift and also lessening somewhat of the severe threat. Will of course await the 00z GFS (and the other models) before considering any changes to my current thinking.

Do I know you from somewhere?

Lots of maps already. I might make one eventually.
NWS Lincoln, IL seemed to be contemplating putting severe wording in their zone forecasts, which I find astounding, considering that you basically never see that until a day before an event.
This is my first visit to this board in a while. I will check back from time to time as this event unfolds.

Don't know yet but the models are trending toward less severe attm, weaker sfc low and more unidirectional wind profiles, as well as less agressive moisture return. Of course, much remains to be seen as models frequently flip-flop, I tend to trust 0Z runs the most, which should be coming in about an hour.

Well the 12z GFS was about as classic as it could get for this area. 18z GFS was weaker but still a severe producer of some sort. I never trust 18z runs in general however. Will definitely see what 00z says tonight as said above, usually its the best.

Latest 00Z model run has the low further southward and it looks like Thursday afternoon could feature a significant eastern TX severe outbreak!

All areas in particularly MS, AL, TN, KY, but also in portions of TX, LA, AR, MO, and GA, possibly IL and IN too, need to be on guard now. The first group of states now appears at most risk for a significant event based on latest data, and I see nothing unfortunately to lessen the severe threat in those areas at all at this time. No reason to change the title of this thread yet.
