Looking at cells trying to form near AlMiss state line.

Is the cap still holding? Any estimate on when it will begin breaking down?

Storm north of Liberty, MS is really ramping up.

I’ve said this a million times, but NWS Memphis’ wording in their tornado warnings annoys me. Every one of them says “a severe thunderstorm producing a tornado” even when they don’t have confirmation of a tornado. Everyone else says “capable of producing a tornado” unless they have actual confirmation.

Check out the small supercell near Franklinton, LA with a classic hook. Just went tornado warned.

Mississippi cells approaching the Alabama border are slowing intensifying. No severe levels as of yet but they have been slowly building over the past hour, e.g., cell N of Waynesboro, Ms. The cap/atmosphere in Alabama may not yet be conducive to severe development. These cells are discreet and not part of an embedded line - just may not have strong enough fuel to work with.

There’s also a warning northwest of Tupelo in that squall line.
