North Mississippi storm looks like it’s getting its act together and tightening up. May be the first storm to keep an eye on.

Bingo. Verifying initialization is a big one people forget. Often, it doesn’t initialize properly but the same idea holds. The potential exists for some longer track supercells. Will we see them move through exact counties shown? Don’t know yet...

I can be very old-fashioned at times. Echo tops and lightning output...sometimes it's the best way.

"

SUMMARY...Large hail may accompany small thunderstorm cluster as it
tracks across northeast MS into northwest AL over the next few
hours. At this time do not anticipate issuing a short-term severe
thunderstorm watch."

It’s elevated at this time. Probably lots of hail.

Would have expected many more posts. Guess people are lurking.

 

[The Nino]

3" hail prob in that one

LOL yeah about 220 lurkers out there. I think everyone is just in wait and see mode.

Goodness at the VIL in that one. Massive hail before noon... welcome to the south

 

[South AL Wx]

Quarter size hail covering the ground in Ripley, MS according to an MEG LSR.

That MS storm is still chugging along almost due East and has been all morning. Wonder how far it makes it into/across the HUN CWA...

Gotta wonder if that’s the big UH streak the models have been picking up on.

I’m talking to my students today (7th/8th grade) about weather safety.. most of them have no idea what to do. Several of them live in a mobile home park.. We gotta talk to these kids about this stuff.

This upsets me big time!!
I think every possible disaster and how to survive should be taught in school!! Especially tornadoes in Dixie Alley!!

Definitely like this live feed of the thread.

The university that I am at for law school will say that there is the possibility of strong tornadoes today, and in the same email/post say that they expect normal campus operations.

Go away sunshine!!

I'm leaving Pelham (Shelby County) today, headed to Talladega County so I'll have access to a basement.
Looks like if anything happens in that area, it will likely be this evening, schools are closing at 11:30.

north Mississippi storm almost looks to have taken a turn SE in the last couple updates. Wonder if it’s riding the warm front? Also wonder what effect that boundary running NE into it will have

We’re continuing normal operations at UA. I’m happy because I lecture this afternoon and don’t wanna have to remake this class. Plus, it’s more sturdy than the cardboard box apartments they have around campus.

I have a moot court competition at 8:30 pm tonight, and this threat derails my focus.

We clouded back over here, but are up to 61. Waiting for the SPC new outlook.
