Severe WX January 11, 2020 Severe Weather Reports and Nowcasts

The Storms moving into N Alabama do not look all that impressive. Sure high wind threat, but I do not see any rotation.

 

[Equus]

With CAPE on the rise in SE MS (pocket of 1500 N NOLA) am afraid that to my south there could still be some issues, basically right where the 10/hatch is which I think is well placed, but just don't know if there's time up here for CAPE to skyrocket here if clouds hold, lapse rates certainly not ideal. Still a nasty QLCS with embedded rotations and the potential for damaging gusts though...

I'm okay with that!

 

[StormStalker]

Heavy rain here but the wind hasn’t been all that bad.

Definitely seems the forward progression of the line has slowed a good bit.

 

[Richardjacks]

We can't assume this line will behave the same as it reaches central Alabama, the environment will be much different as instability spreads northward through the morning.

 

[Equus]

Slow is actually really not ideal for multiple reasons but I'm noticing that too. Having to help dig a ditch and thought I only had a couple hours but might be after noon at this rate. If it slows any more things could get real nasty.

 

[Equus]

Also, first lil tiny peek of sun. Still sprinkling though

The Arab weather Radio transmitter is down. Another reason to have multiple ways to receive weather alerts.

 

[Equus]

Transmitters and radar sites both seem to have a real aversion to the things they're built for, I'm noticing

The squall line just moved through Florence AL and was not too bad. Very heavy rain for a few minutes and gusty winds but nothing severe around the area where I live

 

[Gawxnative]

Spoke with a friend of mine a few ago.. He said sun is peaking out at times and his temp is 72 (Shelby County, AL) .. Not good IMO

 

[warneagle]

Tornado warning east of Jackson. Doesn't look that impressive on radar though.

Do you think NW AL will see much more excitement today or was that it?

That was it for NW AL but the rest of the state is under an increasing risk.

 

[Kory]

That line sure is getting a lot of comma head features.

 

[JayF]

Oh boy the KHTX radar is offline.

Oh boy the KHTX radar is offline.

Still showing up for me.

Still showing up for me.

I am not looking at that radar right now since the storms are in West Alabama and East Mississippi. Is it updating?

It's showing as working on RadarScope on my phone.
