The NWS service says a Tornado is possible with the storm moving into Colbert and Lauderdale counties. It is not confirmed but if you are in the area of that storm you should take shelter.

The line passed through here ( near tupelo ms ) a little bit ago. Maybe 50 mph winds. No hail, not much lightning either, but very heavy rain.
Power flickered but never went off.
The worst of it didn't last but maybe 15 mins.

Edited to add. I'm hearing reports of some trees down and minor structure damage about 15 miles to my north ( Baldwyn ms ), but no injuries reported so far from there.

I am noticing a lot of kinks in the line in southern Miss now, kind follows what HRRR was showing as it transitioned to less linear

Some of the weather stations around me in Cullman are now reporting a temp of 70° with a dewpoint in the 65-68° range

Damage is being reported in Cherokee in Colbert County with trees and powerlines down.

HRRR keeps upping the instability, now shows surface td's in the 70 in southwest Alabama. Interesting that the ENH outlook is now basically just like it was yesterday

Yep, and the usual hot zone around Tuscaloosa, the Miami of Central Alabama.

 

[TCLwx]

Currently at my house in TCL 71.6F with td sitting at 65.8F.

 

[Kory]

Per Colbert County EMA, widespread wind damage with the passage of the line.

I just noticed that yesterday the City of Good Hope in Cullman County put out that both of their sirens are out of service. This is why you need multiple ways to receive warnings.

 

[Bama Ravens]

69.4 temp, 63.3 DP at my location.

The Weather Channel is worthless. They’re spending 75% of their time talking about the winter weather part of the system.

 

[Equus]

70/66 in Jasper. South winds gusting 20-40 but completely overcast and sprinkling. Have rarely seen clouds shooting across the sky like they are right now; if thermodynamics were a little better this would be an absolutely historic day

 

[Richardjacks]

Keep in mind that were the storms are in northwest Alabama, the CAPE is just barely 100 right now.
