There it is. Spann still focused on the Demopolis one.

Does anyone know if Miss State has released a balloon yet? I know they do it sometimes for severe weather days, especially potentially high end days. That’s local to me so I was curious what the date from it is like.

 

[Equus]

Two areas along the Jefferson/Walker line are rotating. Still 66 here but everything is starting to spin

Tusc/Jeff co storm ramping up!

That Hale/Greene/Tuscaloosa Co storm is impressive.

'We don't have a conformed tornado on the ground'.

Umm...

They are up at an angle. Without debris or power flashes or something indicating clear ground interaction you can't be 100% certain it is there. It looks awfully darned close if it isn't. -- well, it did 3-5 minutes ago.

 

[Equus]

SW Blount and adjacent Cullman/Jefferson needs to watch that rotation east of Sumiton

 

[WhirlingWx]

Definitely doesn't look like it's down at the moment there, but a lot of tornado warnings in that area (Marengo county, AL)

 

[OHWX97]

Storms back in Louisiana are starting to rotate. It's going to be a long night.

 

[Tennie]

ABC 33/40 has a rotating wall cloud on stream near Demopolis:

West-central MS is clearing out again. It's been suspiciously quiet back there, which makes me nervous for later, given what we saw from JAN and LIX.

 

[WhirlingWx]

Tornado warning for areas NW of Birmingham now. Jefferson/Walker county line

 

[Clancy]

Tornado Warning for that West Jefferson storm.
