Now over 70 wind reports and 10 tornado reports. Nice little event still unfolding. Won't surprise me to see a dozen tornadoes and over 100 wind reports once this event is over.

WSFA 12 in Montgomery now showing the threat as Enhanced. SPC still says slight

We should get some redevelopment later this evening and overnight, but I'm skeptical about atmospheric recovery that would lead to any severe. Likely just another round of rain, despite the HRRR bullish moisture return.

Yeah, it seems like when models showed that this morning, for instance, they also showed this first round breaking up some. Obviously that hasn't happened.

Actually wow, significant tree damage throughout Walker county, just not at the house. Surprised the power is still on.

They probably haven't updated their graphic. There was an enhanced from SPC earlier.

In my opinion, Panoply should be in October. I was at the National Cornbread Festival yesterday in South Pittsburg, Tennessee. I hope everyone there knows that area is under a tornado watch and the line will probably be in Marion County, Tennessee before the festival closes.

Report of downed trees in Cullman City.

 

[akt1985]

Blanket severe thunderstorm warning from Lincoln County, TN to Marshall County, AL. Also, the Cornbread Festival is closing early.

Huntsville just canceled the Tornado Warning in Morgan and Cullman Counties.
