That Livingston storm doesn't even look all that impressive on the reflectivity.

That'll do it

Classic dixie wedge. And i can’t believe how bad it’s already been. I really think later will be absolutely terrible as well

Livingston storm is in an awful radar hole, but I will say, the structure on radar looks very similar to the Selma storm when viewed at the same beam height.

Is it on the ground? I can't tell.

I never like when Greene Co is under a warning. That trajectory is usually rough for Tuscaloosa. Hopefully this one stays south of us.

The Birmingham cell seems to have shriveled up a bit.

Take a gander at that flow from the gulf...

Debris signature just shot way up on the Billingsley, AL storm (the one Brett Adair is on).

Looks pretty ominous in the picture just above your post though.

I'm afraid the cell near Brookhaven, MS is going to cause big problems.

Is it on the ground? I can't tell.

It looks like it is from what i see.

Finally, someone used literally correctly (I'm guilty of overusing it myself at times).

here atop Red Mountain in Bham, the low level jet is noticeably increasing.

 

[TH2002]

Probable tornado in progress with the Brookhaven cell.

 

[Kory]

Apparently sirens are going off in Tuscaloosa county. I’ve gotten multiple calls about it.

Low-level shear was woefully underplayed with this by all guidance until the last minute...
