Severe Weather Threat May 7-10, 2024

Weird the sirens in Southern Huntsville went off for one round then ended. Kinda curious why they have such a big lead time but kill the sirens early?

They go off for around 3 minutes? Usually standard practice to run alert mode (or sometimes wail) for 3-5 minutes per warning.
 
This mayve already been said but it's interesting how for TW 212 the probabilities for very large hail are considered high 80% & the max given is 2.5". But in TW 210 the max given is 4" but even 1" hail probability is only 60%.
