The atmosphere to the E and S of yesterday's 82 Twister calamity is RIPE.
No scouring at all.The line from near Streetsoldier's Bootheel to Memphis is the demarkation of the Dry line.Cool...moist air at the Sfc to CVG and ENE has a blocking mechanism with Frost advisories to BOX,Mass.
Moisture laden midlevel air with 70F DP has JK/gs off the wall.4500+ 500mb CAPE is very evident from MEM SSE to ATL.
Heads up Breeze,Bill and Perry.
S branch of Jetmax or STJ had a 170+kt heading right into the teeth of the S GOMEX feed mechanism.Downsloping winds from the Rockies has futher destabilized the environment.V-Notch evident from S of MEM at this hour...03:24 PDT 05MAY03.
Early AM tornadoes are EXTREMELY dangerous,as many are with the thinking that they di not occurr at that hr..THEY DO!
N Mississippi and SE Ark are also under SPC Boxed areas.
Tops over 50KFt asl..possibly to 60Kft are probable by Mid AM..Max SFC Heating after 2PM should fire off massive MCS..possible MCC with HP Supercell activity.Multiple Vorticies dropping off of Scud Clouds should offer spectacular footage,hail over 3" probable with outflow winds over 70mph also assoc with isolated rogue Supercells.
NOAA radios at the ready friends!Stay alert!

Seriously though,my post w/re to the Sev Wx is to the point and I caution those in the watch/warning areas to take the advisories very seriously!

Looks like a pretty heavy line is taking dead aim on Atlanta.

Looks like it may be setting up for a "train" effect as it moves into the greater Atlanta area. Heads up Georgia folks!

That STJ Axis
