What's going on here?

There was some rotation in that storm inside the Severe Thunderstorm warning area. It was only radar indicated. That is why only a Thunderstorm Warning was issued. It isn't enough to issue a Tornado warning out of it.

Thunder in Meridianville, Al.

 

[kcyalater]

Wind is absolutely screaming out of the SSW in Birmingham, AL. Has to be sustained 15-25. I can only imagine what it’s like a few thousand feet up.

 

[RainyMorning]

Can definitely see the lightning from the Limestone County in Harvest.

WHNT reported Tennis ball Size hail in Limestone County. The Storm though is starting to dissipate. Does anyone have contacts in LImestone that can verify the Hail report?

 

[kivey2969]

I can verify the large hail in Limestone Co. It was huge, a little larger than golf ball size. Sorry, no pics. Trying to keep the cat in the house.

 

[StormStalker]

Thanks for the report!

So, was this nasty little storm I experienced in Limestone Co. just a prelude to what's to come later? I'm confused.

Yeah, there's still a large complex of strong-to-severe storms crossing through central Mississippi

Talks of a watch for south MS/AL

Looks like the severe warned storm near Lawrenceburg TN may have potentially had a TOR. Rotation was well defined, had a hook on reflectivity, and popped up a bit on CC as well.

Edit: The one to the southeast looks a bit nasty now as well.

There was cloud rotation, but I do not think anything came to the ground. The rotation wasn't that impressive. That is why the kept it as a Severe Thunderstorm Warning and didn't upgrade it.

BMX updated their graphic and sped up the timing a little:

 

[Equus]

Major CC drop right over Mathison, MS; spun up in only a couple frames

 

[kivey2969]

And the tornado watch has been extended to include Lauderdale, Colbert, Limestone and Madison Counties until 3am.

 

[warneagle]

Confirmed tornado east of Eupora, MS

My mom lives there. I called her, and she just had strong winds. No noticeable damage, thankfully.
