Those two cells near Valdosta, GA would likely be producing if they weren't north of that boundary.

It felt like ages for that TOR for Choctaw to be issued but it was actually issued pretty quickly.

New Tor warning for Choctaw Co.

 

[buckeye05]

I see what they're warning in Choctaw there, but it's a pretty noisy signature and in a radar hole. Hard to say what exactly is going on there.

Moody Music Hall on UA's campus is currently on fire. Struck by lightning.

Oh man

Oh man

I see big flames in the livestream from the DCH ABC 33/40 tower cam.

 

[buckeye05]

Could be wrong, but i'm thinking the OFB is going to undercut, rather than enhance in this case.

 

[Jetstream]

This tor warning extended into Marengo Co. Also, Clarke Co.

 

[TornadoFan]

Tornado warning for the line of supercells in southwest Mississippi.

Aaaaaand it looks like i'm wrong.

Edit: Or maybe not. It's not really doing much.

Impressive rain mass

 

[buckeye05]

Strong, but broad rotation with that cell near Tylertown, MS. Needs to tighten up for anything to happen.

My concern is conditions might be more favorable as it continues moving to the east. It's a pretty fine line between less than favorable conditions, and some of the best air this storm has been able to tap into.

I think if it is going to produce it will do so over the next hour or so. It could tighten up at anytime and drop a really nasty TOR.

 

[buckeye05]

Tightening up now...
Nothing on Brett's cam yet though.

 

[buckeye05]

PDS warning now. A little skeptical if there is even anything on the ground though yet. Might not be long, however...

 

[Evan]

PDS TOR

Uh oh. Debris ball and TDS.
