One thing I try to do when I look at severe weather data is to determine what will limit, or extinguish, some of the severity of a specific event.
It is VERY rare to look at data to support a severe weather event and say, "Everything agrees with this." Guess what? Tomorrow is going to be a "rare" event around here. I usually don't see that kind of information.
Okay, so here are some of the "Right Between" your eyes:
**There ARE going to be major thunderstorms tomorrow. And not isolated. There are going to be large, supercell, organized thunderstorms (Mesoscale Convective Systems).
***The capabilities of some of these storms include, but are not limited to: hail, tornadoes, and WIND. The wind in these cells is going to go up to 70mph+.
***There is something called a QLCS (Squall Line). These are going to contain rotating cells, which could turn into tornadoes. In the blue circled areas, any one of them could be areas where these tornadoes occur while the Squall line comes through.
***Wind damage IS going to occur.
***Power outages WILL happen.
These are some of the things that COULD limit the damage:
***Faster line of storms. If the storms come in faster, the amount of damage will be more contained. Sort of when a sub is hit, and the Con says, "Damage reports", but the sub moves on.
***Stability: The atmosphere isn't going to be totally disabled. There are areas where either drier air or subsidence limits the strength of the QLCS lines.
***Daytime Temps/Season: If this were summer and a 90+F day tomorrow, I would say "Check please!" There would be no outside chance these storms don't flare up. Yet, because it is SPRING, and max temps will be in the 60s, we don't have that major heat coming off surfaces, which would contribute to building cumulonimbus/supercell clouds. Yet, there is enough shear to go around in the upper-atmosphere so that would counter this out.
***Organized storms BEFORE the Squall Line: There will be some flare-up storms before the squall line. They could do their own damage, but they could also SAP some energy out of the atmosphere. This would help steal the energy for the squall line.
****CALM: Listen, just play it smart. If you are at work while this business is going on, stay late. If you are at school before this comes in, but you know it's coming, STAY at school. Have some backups ready. I won't lie, people are going to be without electricity tomorrow night. And it's going to get colder.
