[Tennie]

Tornadic circulation between Anderson and the AL/TN border.

 

[buckeye05]

This is going to be a major underperformer unless more discrete convection forms.

 

[stebo]

SW surface winds will do that.

SW surface winds aren't the kiss of death in the southeast, that is a common mistake made.

 

[Equus]

Rapid initiation near Lynn, but let's see if that remains a shower or continues to grow.

 

[Evan]

Shower forming near Lynn. Needs to be watched closely for development. It's in an explosive area.

 

[MichelleH]

Seeing storms starting to form on radar south of the main line

 

[NorthGaWeather]

I think the line will extend Southwest. How far is the question.

 

[Bama Ravens]

Itty bitty guy south of Starkville trying but so far not doing much at all

There was one that tried that earlier but it dried up pretty fast.

 

[David in SW Blount]

Skies darkening here... wondering if things are about to go boom?!!

 

[Bama Ravens]

The HRRR wants to keep everything from Cullman County north. I know that’s not gospel, but it’s noteworthy.

 

[jackiesgeorge]

I live in belmont it got bad here no tornado but as close to one as i have seen. it was rather windy.

 

[Evan]

Gah latest 22Z HRRR looks like trash. And dewpoints haven't really dried out too much just yet across most of Central/Eastern AL.

 

[Bama Ravens]

My DP has actually gone down a degree or two.

 

[CSimonds]

Already a severe thunderstorm warning on the storm S of Tremont Mississippi

 

[Evan]

Storm south of Lester is showing what happens if some of these storms can maintain a discrete mode away from the main HP area.

 

[MattW]

6 Runs of the HRRR put Atlanta in the bullseye. Now the 22z basically lifts the bulk of it north. Still showing potential, but not quite as strong as the past 6 runs.

 

[akt1985]

It looks like the tornado warned storm in southern Lawrence County may be a right turner off to the southeast along the warm front.

 

[Tennie]

Storm south of Lester is showing what happens if some of these storms can maintain a discrete mode away from the main HP area.

That HP cell is basically being an energy hog; anything that gets too close gets gobbled up.

 

[Mike S]

Storm south of Lester is showing what happens if some of these storms can maintain a discrete mode away from the main HP area.

Brad Travis thinks there may be a tornado there

 

[buckeye05]

Current radar presentation screams upscale growth and HP storm mode for N Alamama. Looking like a 2017-esque event so far.
