Tornado warning .....Fayette, Lamar, and Marion counties..Alabama

 

[Chris3024]

wow at the reflectivity picture of the Sulligent storm

 

[Justin Hindman Hindy]

Storm was 1/4 mile from us in Shuqalak, brief funnel, no tornado, following behind it

Gonna need a rocket pack to keep up; stay safe out there. Couplet has been persistent with this one but CC is extremely noisy.

 

[CheeselandSkies]

Tornado warning into AL now; on the infamous Pickens-north Tuscaloosa/southern Fayette-Walker track. Time to tune in to 33/40 live stream...

 

[CheeselandSkies]

That little guy looks really wrapped up; reflectivity just brightened up at the tip of the hook (possible debris ball) coincident with a little green blip on CC.

 

[Richardjacks]

Wow that one is really wrapped up

 

[Tennie]

There's a suspicious-looking area of decently-strong rotation north of Macon, MS, right now.

 

[Kragg]

I’m surprised the storm east of Philadelphia only has a severe and not TOR

 

[Clancy]

Another Tornado Watch, now for parts of Central and Eastern AL.

 

[Justin Hindman Hindy]

The one in Pickens is on the ground with a cc

 

[bwalk]

Cell looks to be N/NE of Gordo

 

[CheeselandSkies]

Warning extended into northern Tuscaloosa; cell looks to be re-organizing a bit on reflectivity.

 

[Austin Dawg]

It looks for my untrained eye like we have a spin ups starting all the way down to Meridian Station. I'm afraid it's going to be really tough the next couple hours. It looks like it's running into something just as it comes into the Alabama line

 

[OHWX97]

A broad area of rotation between Prentiss and Mount Olive, MS is starting to tighten up considerably.

 

[Kragg]

Cell Southwest of Mt Olive MS (SSE Jackson Radar) is starting to look suspicious.

Edit: beaten by ohwx97

 

[Casie]

Watch that cell North of Scooba about to move across the border

 

[bwalk]

Tuscaloosa Co cell looks like it will move over rural areas for the near future after it skirts Samantha community. Has any spotter been able to confirm actual tornado? NWS says radar indicated.

Edit: Cell did not skirt Samantha but the couplet is very loose.

 

[OHWX97]

Tornado likely imminent south of Berry, AL.
