That storm approaching I-55 SW of Pickens is just nasty. One of those storms that looks like it could put down a monster rain-wrapped tornado if that really strong meso gets its act together.

I'm not very good at boundary identification. So, this boundary runs N/NW to S/SE in a line approximately from Yazoo City to Mobile (give or take a little)?
I’m thinking more SW to NE where some of the rain cooled air from the showers this morning and early afternoon were. Looks like one from South of Jackson NE to Meridian and just north of 20/59. Potentially another one where the Yazoo City storm is going to town and NE of there up in the vicinity of GWX. And potentially the warm front up in NE MS into the Shoals.

this is just me observing sort of the “train tracks” these cells are on.

TORR'd as "radar confirmed," but I don't really see a clear TDS on KDGX as of 2202 UTC. There is definitely a pronounced couplet approaching Pickens, though.

Been watching the sky for the past couple hours and the low level clouds have definitely picked up the pace here in Madison County, AL. Not seeing low level sheer mixing the convection like you sometimes can but there's been a pretty thick cloud layer obstructing view of the mid levels.

I continue to see a smaller risk for Alabama like I had thought yesterday. Lot of rain south. Just watch the storms for brief spin ups imo. I think East of 65 the threat is real slim from Birmingham eastward
