Yeah, a friend said strong winds and large hail, maybe a downburst, but no rotation. Good.

Judging from this I sound say you are good

Yeah it does have rotation but nothing concerning.

 

[MichelleH]

It's got some rotation on it, as supercells do but nothing that screams "imminently tornadic" at least to me. Of course, I'd still be on my heels by the off chance the cell decides to go rogue and drop a biggun.

I saw your post after Kevin's. Ergh.

No rotation is always good lol

They let the warning expire but it's still growing and my head feels like it's going to explode. More popping in Winston Co. too. Oh boy, fun times with a terrified Chihuahua.

I think BMX should at least put a special weather statement on this storm in Randolph county. I’m under it and the wind is pretty stout. They currently don’t have anything warning how strong it is at the moment.

I saw a few dead trees knocked down, a healthy estimated 4 inch pine branch snapped, trash cans and lawn furniture displaced. A few local businesses on Main Street had their flower pots and fall decorations blown over. I’m curious, does it bother you when the NWS doesn’t put out SWS? I feel like BMX is the worst at not using it. I hope they can better use that product in the future.

For the ones interested in severe weather and SPC, I would highly recommend listening and/or watching last week's WeatherBrains episode. Some very interesting and exciting stuff is being worked on internally at SPC and they share some of that in this episode.

Right SMH

2015 was really rough here. It was hot and gross on top of the frequent storms.
My biggest fall/winter tornado memory though is the December 16th 2000 tornado. I live in Tuscaloosa though so I’m biased.

The 18z GFS shows some semblance of a neutral to slightly negative tilt trough around late month.
