You’re more than welcome to read the SPC convective outlook several posts above if you don’t believe anyone.

Spann just said they're going to be on for about 12 more hours if that answers anyone's questions. This is far from over.

Yeah it’s nothing but supercells back to the SW of here.

Do you mind showing the velocities?

Yep, wish it would all go away, but gotta be realistic.

There are a couple of warnings back along the frontal boundary in northern LA (although neither is that impressive). Just a reminder of how far we still have to go with this system.

We kept repeating it's not gonna be another 4/27 (which it isn't), but the parallels just keep getting more eerie. There's another hook (unwarned) back over Tuscaloosa while the first one heads toward NW Birmingham.

Nervous about that cell moving up into Tuscaloosa from the SW. Lots of cloud to ground lightning.

Looks like the first one took all it's gumption.

oh my god....

TDS just to the south of Brookwood.

Even though we've already had a substantial number of confirmed tornadoes, and some really significant damage, just imagine if some of these storms were not cycling very much and were instead producing a violent long-tracker the entire time.

Just a tiny bit of positivity. Threat is LONG from over. Another 12 hours, and the overall threat may has not diminished.

I really will NOT BE surprised if any tornado gets rated EF3 or higher if they hit something major

 

[CheeselandSkies]

Rotation at Brookwood looks ominous but CC is not definitive like it was when it was south of Tuscaloosa. Still, should be treated as a TOG.

The Tuscaloosa storm seems to be the first long track tornado

Brad Arnold is streaming from Brookwood.

I think it cycled around 20-25 minutes ago, but I could be wrong.

TOR just issued for the storm located over Tuscaloosa.

The storm near laurel and the tuscaloosa storm seem to be the most significant so far but we all know what is really about to come. remember there is a possibility another high risk could be issued tomorrow there’s a huge moderate risk tomorrow

 

[warneagle]

The newly-warned storm over Tuscaloosa doesn't look that impressive on radar yet, thankfully. Hopefully it stays that way. 33/40 is showing the sky cam and it doesn't look like there's anything there right now.

Brad Arnold basically drove into the forming tornado
