Just made it home to Gardendale! Forecasted Convective Amplification Deficiency as far as the chase for the area I was in, but the warm front didn’t make it far north. Saturday is gonna be the day; this was just the appetizer

Yeah I dont think N Alabama was going to see any action from this system…. SOUTHERN and CENTRAL Alabama however….. might be a different story overnight per the SPC. This is a “lull”.

Central is done for the night, I was in south west Alabama. One storm seemed to touchdown around tattlersville but that’s it. The events always try do do a shock 1 am tornado. Watching from Troy to Dothan

The Mobile office has a hard job with the large variety of hard-to-forecast tornado setups they get. Hats off to them for their great work!

Great X (Twitter) thread from one of the NWS Mobile forecasters:

I don’t doubt they had couple significant tornadoes but not sure if they’ll be rated as such? Don’t recall hearing of structural damage

Sheweee.. didn’t think was that upper end . Miracle no one died but must’ve been rural.

Makes sense. By far the most impressive velocity and CC signatures of either of the last two events.
