Any chance for a high risk this evening?

Perhaps if these MS storms start tossing TORs with ground verification and nothing gums up the works as they move into AL, but it seems like any opportunity to upgrade is past us as the next Day 1 wouldn't occur until the event is well underway. Would kind of defeat the purpose of it. But it seems unlikely although it has been done a time or two before. But quite rare.

We had hail storm from hell in Meridianville. Damage to cars and probably roof.

We are between Meridianville and Hazel Green in Jacob Landing. We got a good hailstorm here, but looks like you guys just south of us caught the worst of it.

That storm north of Tupelo just got Tornado Warned

 

[Kory]

Pretty nasty environment taking shape in NE MS/NW AL. We're talking 400-500 m2/s2 0-3KM SRH and 200-300 m2/s2 0-1km SRH.

 

[South AL Wx]

Don't forget about the very large hail risk as well. BMX saying that baseball size hail is possible:

It was bad. Quarter size to bigger. Sounded like softballs hitting the roof.

Temp has come up to 66 dp 65. Storms will be here in within the next hour.

 

[Bama Ravens]

Do we expect more storms to form further south of the current ones?

Man, these temperatures. 80's starting to show up at weather stations near Tuscaloosa.

Yeah we're pushing 3500-4000 J/KG CAPE out here in West AL. Storms will explode.

 

[David in SW Blount]

I really don't like seeing one of those streaks going right over my house.

 

[Equus]

That streak would hit me as well at extreme intensity, let's hope it's not picture perfect accurate heh

 

[Tennie]

The tornado warning north of Tupelo is being allowed to expire.

 

[NorthBamaWX]

my temperture just went up 6.5 degrees in one hour

 

[Mike S]

I really don't like seeing one of those streaks going right over my house.

The placement of one of those streaks is close enough to me I might be able to go get a good view of the storm, but its also close enough that I might be hiding in the bathtub depending on how far off that track it would actually go.

 

[Tennie]

New tornado warning for the cell NE of Tupelo!
