Severe WX 2/5/2020-2/6/2020 Severe Weather

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.

That storm has just been marching across MS. Pretty crazy.

That storm has just been marching across MS. Pretty crazy.

And based on the storm tracks, Vernon and Hamilton, Al. need to be watching this particular long-tracking storm.

 

[KoD]

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.

Tishomingo looks to be spinning up

Hoping for the best here in Florence.

Just curious what the outlook for central Georgia is. I used to live in Bama and got all my weather information from here.

 

[Bama Ravens]

So do we think the storms over south AL/along the Gulf Coast have helped those of us in the northern half of AL?

 

[Bama Ravens]

Also, this is the latest watch that was issued about 4:30pm CST.

So do we think the storms over south AL/along the Gulf Coast have helped those of us in the northern half of AL?

They most certainly have.

 

[Bama Ravens]

They most certainly have.

I guess MS hasn’t gotten as much help from them, hence the warned storms still ongoing there.

 

[Kory]

Don't be shocked to see that make their way into Western and NW AL still. We're downstream from that more "untapped" atmosphere.

 

[Justin Hindman]

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

Looks like things are getting jiggy in TN!!
