Severe WX Severe Threat 17-18 March 2021

[bwalk]

In the last three hours my temp has gone from 58 to 68. DP from 58 to 66.

Wow. That qualifies as a 'surge' I imagine. Warmfront passed through?

 

[OHWX97]

That might be the first tornado warning of the day.

There was a tornado warning earlier in NW Mississippi and I think one in east Texas, but this will likely be the first to drop one. Those cells SW of Birmingham looking pretty healthy as well.

View attachment 7046That storm southeast of Laurel is definitely rotating, no warning on it yet

Beat me to it.

 

[warneagle]

That storm SE of Laurel, MS seems to be growing, rotation is definitely tightening.

The one to the north of it might be a problem too if the one to the south doesn't choke it off. Some very broad/weak rotation there.

 

[warneagle]

That little cell east of Moundville also has some weak rotation and is starting to show a little hook on reflectivity...

 

[Casuarina Head]

Anvils already have that classic “look,” but deep-layer shear is still relatively tame.

 

[Equus]

Anxiety is killing me. Getting stuff ready for the inevitable basement run

 

[darkskys25]

Surpised storm south of laurel isnt warned. Tight rotation!

 

[MattW]

The Laurel rotation is still broad and weaker, the lowest scan elevation is ~6300ft.

PDS Watch out

 

[MadisonDawg]

Looks like some storms developing in the Madison/Decatur area, pretty much all around the 65/565 interchange area.

What are the chances of the high risk being expanded northward to include the northern most AL counties?

 

[Jpgood97]

In the last three hours my temp has gone from 58 to 68. DP from 58 to 66.

Where are you at?

 

[Casie]

Currently 64/62 in Trussville. DP +2 in the last hour.

 

[MichelleH]

What are the chances of the high risk being expanded northward to include the northern most AL counties?

Fairly likely.

 

[Richardjacks]

Everyone: when reporting conditions, please include your location.

 

[CheeselandSkies]

The Laurel rotation is still broad and weaker, the lowest scan elevation is ~6300ft.

Yeah, it's in a bad radar hole. DGX is seeing persistent mid-level rotation, which probably merits at least a SVR.

 

[warneagle]

Tornado warning out for Wayne Co., MS and Choctaw Co., AL

 

[Equus]

64° here and nearly saturated with drizzle so far... cells incoming
