The more I look at the Supercell Composite and the Cape/Shear models for today, the more I believe Louisiana, Mississippi and central Alabama are the places to watch for significant severe weather. North Alabama could see small tornadoes but I am not seeing anything significant there.

Still need to stay weather aware. They dynamics can change depending if we get any sun in N. AL.

A friend of mine just posted on FB it's 74 and sunny in Priceville (Morgan County).

For your situational awareness (FYSA) in Huntsville/Madison County AL -

Huntsville Madison County EMA reports:
"The outdoor warning siren located at the corner of University Drive and Research Park Boulevard is sounding, but is not rotating. The siren is basically stopped in one position. Persons in that area not facing the siren will have reduced sound coverage. As always, it is important to have more than 1 method of receiving warnings. NOAA Weather Alert Radio, cellular apps and television meteorologists are are some methods to receive warnings. Please remain updated on weather today as the possibility of severe weather is in the forecast. "

Low-level meso on that Tensas Parish cell is crossing the Mississippi River and will pass very near Grand Gulf, MS. If there isn't a tornado, I'd imagine there is a very impressive wall cloud. The reflectivity/SRV is wrapped up.

Sun periodically breaking out here, warm windy and very humid. NOT a comforting feeling for before noon on a mid December day.

73/63 on a PWS near UA’s campus. Pretty sure 74 was our high. We should beat that by a few degrees easily.
