Tornado Watch out for parts of AL and MS.

SPC says temps will need to reach low 70s for storms to become surface based.

I see lack of forcing dynamics also an issue with this system as far as svr/tor potential.

I was just gonna add it's so far from both BMX and GWX I thought the "radar confirmed" was rather suspect, but I guess not.

That supercell in Greene County is heading in a bad direction. VAD at KBMX shows ample low level shear available for tornadoes and there should be sufficient buoyancy.

 

[Richardjacks]

Very large cell in a strange position with the rain to the east but very close to a boundary with increasing shear. This reminds of another cool season event not long ago...

 

[CheeselandSkies]

New warning back to radar indicated rotation, but it covers a lot of territory.

 

[andyhb]

Strong tornado in progress near Sawyerville.

 

[Clancy]

Strong couplet and TDS for the last several scans.

 

[CheeselandSkies]

Possible direct hit on Sawyerville.

 

[Clancy]

TDS got quite nasty as it passed over the town.

 

[MichelleH]

PDS tornado warning for Hale County.

 

[CheeselandSkies]

Still looks strong on velocity. 33/40 reports significant damage via Brett Adair. Was not expecting this today.

 

[Clancy]

Reports of "homes severely damaged" and mobile home dislodged from its foundation, according to Spann on 33/40.

 

[Casie]

Ryan Cartee has damage on his live feed

 

[bwalk]

At 2:10 pm tor cell continues to track NE.

PDS tornado warning for Hale County.

BMX is calling this tor "a confirmed large and extremely dangerous tornado". This is blowing my mind based on how this setup was considered very weak dynamically.
