January 2nd is shaping up with possibilities for severe storms in this part of the world, according to some equations. This is of greater than usual interest since it would happen on a day off. The gfs paints the brighter picture. A surface low in northeastern Arkansas, excellent diffluence across northern and central Mississippi, a great start from five days out. The European has a different idea. That model stamps the surface low near Davenport, Iowa. That would alter my plan. Same river valley, but that valley is hundreds of miles long. Anyway, something to watch over the weekend.
