[AJS]

I know we’re still in the middle of the outbreak, but has anyone else been worried about the lack of reports and information coming out from yesterday and earlier today?
Normally that means bad news.

That's too big to be practically useful I feel...*shrugs*

 

[Kds86z]

The deadliest outbreak of 2024 numbers wise was Labor Day weekend in May, 17 fatalities. This outbreak is 20 plus…bad start to spring. Have a Feeling we’ll have more total fatalities then 2024, but not as many total tornadoes of course. Last year didn’t have many events in the south where a lot of fatalities happen unfortunately. Sad stuff but the south got a break last year.

 

[Clancy]

Over the past half hour, lots of little storms bubbling up SE of the main QLCS.

 

[AJS]

The storm moving out of Mobile bears watching. It is relatively on it’s own and is already SVR warned.

FFC is really fond of SVRs the size of Texas, and I'm not sure why.

 

[KevinH]

SPC explicitly mentions long track significant tornadoes in the recent MCD regarding E AL AND W GA.

3 hours later, my confidence has gone down just a little bit, BUT the radar in S AL kind of looks interesting..

Yeah, those Southern Alabama storms look a bit suspicious right now.

 

[US_Highway15]

Ladies and gentlemen, as of right now, we have ZERO Tornado Warnings in effect.

 

[AJS]

Mobile storm beginning to organize.

It's getting late for me, and I'm feeling quite drained now. I think that this would be a good time for me to call it a night. I'll check back in tomorrow to catch up on how things played out while I was asleep. In the meantime, I hope that things manage to calm down and we get through with no further loss of life. Good night, everyone!

Oh this is what I come back to from a hot bath?

I was getting some sushi when this all happened, came back to 6 tornadoes, 2 of which were potentially violent

 

[wx_guy]

Looks like there's still significant potential in the lower half of AL and the FL Panhandle....This is the STP currently
