[Derek00]

My DP has actually gone down a degree or two.

Yep. I'm here just across the state line in NW GA and my DP has went down two degrees in the last couple of hours. It has been a cloudy, cool, rainy day here. Not complaining, though.

 

[CheeselandSkies]

Current radar presentation screams upscale growth and HP storm mode for N Alamama. Looking like a 2017-esque event so far.

Yes, really surprised and underwhelmed by the way this event is playing out. Was not expecting the cluster/HP mode.

What's the threat looking like for Central AL at this point? Local mets are too focused on Russellville storm to say what our threat is looking like.

 

[Equus]

Elkmont area storm VERY impressive on radar, wow.

 

[Tennie]

Yes, really surprised and underwhelmed by the way this event is playing out. Was not expecting the cluster/HP mode.

I gotta wonder why what was clearly lining up to be a discrete-cell event instead became an HP mess. Hopefully the data being gathered by that NOAA P-3 would help with that.

 

[JayF]

Elkmont area storm VERY impressive on radar, wow.

It is strengthening

 

[Argus]

60/56 with occassional light rain east of Athens, GA right now.

 

[RainyMorning]

That Elkmont storm is very impressive...donut hole presentation. TDS on that one too.

 

[Equus]

Isolated Winston County storm south of the cluster clearly steadily getting more intense, no rotation or anything yet though

 

[CheeselandSkies]

That Elkmont storm is very impressive...donut hole presentation. TDS on that one too.

Yes, that is more the character of storm I was expecting today. Looks like the Moulton/Hartselle cell might be shaking off the trailing portion of the cluster that has been raining into it, as well. There's still time and people shouldn't let their guard down.

 

[Richardjacks]

we may see a merge with the double springs starter

 

[akt1985]

New tornado warning for northern Madison County.

 

[Bama Ravens]

we may see a merge with the double springs starter

Richard, what are your thoughts for places like Jefferson county and south?

 

[Evan]

TDS now on Elkmont storm.

 

[Equus]

Last few frames shows stuff is quickly firing over Lamar and Marion, but so close together I wonder if it'll just add to the line segment

 

[MichelleH]

Tornado sirens here about scared me to death...didn't realize Lawrence Co storm was going to head down this way

 

[Sharky75]

Is that a hook echo on the Elkmont, AL storm?

 

[David in SW Blount]

Tornado sirens here about scared me to death...didn't realize Lawrence Co storm was going to head down this way

Looks like it will stay well north of Hanceville.

 

[Helicity]

At this point it's looking like Huntsville may split the gap... HP mess to the south, supercell of the day to the north

 

[akt1985]

Messy cells in central Limestone County. We will see if it can develop into anything between two supercells.

 

[AL_ham_op]

Cental AL risk???
