Severe WX December 16-17 2019 Severe Weather Outbreak

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).

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.
