NWS Mobile reporting damage from the tornado in Wayne County, MS

Quite a few discrete cells popping now in southern Mississippi.

I have a feeling the storms will just get worse as the day goes on

 

[TornadoFan]

Already got damage from the storm in MS.

 

[CSimonds]

3500 CAPE

This also shows the CAD is hanging tough over N and NE AL

 

[warneagle]

Spann's going live for the Birmingham storms.

I have a feeling the storms will just get worse as the day goes on

Ya think?

 

[warneagle]

The cell near Columbia, MS might be trying to get going. Hard to tell, since it's a long way from the radar, but it looks like there's some broad rotation.

 

[speedbump305]

Ya think?

pfft.

 

[speedbump305]

Anyone have a new radar loop on the Three main storms right now?

 

[Blizzard1]

What are the chances of the high risk being expanded northward to include the northern most AL counties?

Honestly this is where a lot of folks make the mistake of getting too hung up on the wrong thing. I implore you to not consider your plans based off whether or not you are under a high risk technically or a moderate.

WAKA in Montgomery caught a funnel that was trying to drop in Selma before trees and buildings obscured the view.

Watch the storm in Northern Tuscaloosa County headed into Fayette/Walker. May have a TOR soon.

 

[MattW]

Looking like a debris signature on the Selma, AL storm.

 

[MadisonDawg]

Looks pretty bad for Selma right now. Apparent tornado very near the downtown area, just to the south and west.

 

[Jpgood97]

Selma cell is all by itself

 

[Blizzard1]

Everyone: when reporting conditions, please include your location.

I am presently at UAB Med West in Bessemer...we have had some torrential rains and some stout winds as well but so far “all is quiet on the western front”. Edit: There is some pretty high water around the hospital. If any of you hunker down over here please be careful driving through the loop around the back of the facility, it is flooded already.

 

[GTWXAlum]

Watch the storm in Northern Tuscaloosa County headed into Fayette/Walker. May have a TOR soon.

I just dodged the first super that came out of Tuscaloosa and is now around 59/459 interchange. Now a new kidney bean brother is right behind him.
