Watch that supercell in North MS. It's rotating nicely.

 

[Bama Ravens]

Already got showers developing around the Birmingham area.

Baseball size hail was reported in Benton County, MS with that supercell.

Another cell North of Corinth, MS...just inside TN...is looking much better as well.

Tor warning McNairy Co. TN until 2:15

Apparently there is a confirmed tornado with it, unless there is a typo in the warning. It says a "storm producing a tornado".

This storm has had a strong mid level meso for a few scans. Still rotating nicely.

Both of MEG's tornado warnings have this wording for some reason. Although, both are only radar indicated according to the Tornado tag at the bottom of the text.

I think it has to be a mistake, and was meant to say capable of producing a tornado. There was nothing on the correlation coefficient to confirm a tornado.

I completely agree. I don't know what was up with that.
