We have to watch that line of storms approaching Bham, not because of what they do specifically for now, but how they behave in adding to the volatile environment
Oh yeah for sure. There could be a normal looking cell that can turn into a powerful tornado producing stormLooks like some stuff is forming west of Tuscaloosa. Nothing impressive but that could change.
The last time there was a 45% tornado contour in the SE was 4/27/2011.
Yes i agree. This will probably be what i like to call “ The first April 27th in a while “ this means that it won’t probably be like April 27th, but it means that today will be life threatening and very significantAs per the "spirited" back-and-forth on the other forum, today's not gonna be that day but could easily be one of if not the most destructive days since.

I don't live in the area, I'm just an armchair tracker/chaser for these Dixie outbreaks.You actually can answer that question in about 12 hours. Right now the only important thing is what you and your loved ones will do if your in the tornado warning polygon.

I think the I-20 corridor between Meridian, MS, and Tuscaloosa, AL, is going to be the most likely focus of a violent tornado, given the temperature differential in the area juxtaposed with outflow boundaries and low-level convergence, along with strong instability. This roughly aligns with recent mesoscale guidance. Any discrete supercell that manages to become surface-based in this area has great potential to produce a violent tornado. Edit: SPC just added 45% hatched TOR right over this area.
15Z HRRR is very similar to the 14Z (as in very ominous), but I notice it doesn't seem to be resolving the current group of "kidney beans" in the Birmingham area very well.
That might be the first tornado warning of the day.The cell SE of Laurel, MS is really starting to ramp up.
