The cells that form could have some nasty winds and decent sized hail, however, the helictites are well into the Carolinas helping limit the tornado factor for central Alabama

NWS Birmingham has removed the slight risk for the second round on their graphics.

Near as I can tell, the one tornado warning currently in effect in southeastern Alabama doesn't even contain the most obvious couplet on radar.
Edit: They finally warned it.

totally anecdotal, but i saw pink lightning with the storms this morning in Jefferson County, Alabama. the last time i saw pink lightning in a morning round of storms was April 27th, 2011.

Good thing the setups are not remotely similar.

The question all along re today's possible severe weather for Alabama has been can the afternoon atmosphere recover from this morning's activity. To do so would require cloud clearing for sunlight-related surface heating. Here is the latest satellite pic for Alabama (3:45 pm CST). It looks to be a borderline call as far as timing. As Fred has pointed out, another requirement for firing was a source of lift needed for this afternoon's storms to fire.
The atmosphere has recovered over west Alabama with 1000-1500 CAPE in the northwest and 2000-3000 CAPE between Tuscaloosa and Mobile all being shown on mesoanalysis, and that's with dewpoints in the Shoals at least being shown a couple degrees cooler on mesoanalysis than the actual surface observations have shown. We had a couple of shallow rotating convective showers go up south of the Tennessee River, but the veered low-level flow just above the surface contributing to a lack of deeper boundary layer convergence and the intensely dry mid-level air mass has pretty much nixed this afternoon threat for the most part.

Couplet strengthened over a few scans as it got onshore. I think I see the TDS, little yellow speck on GRL3 but it's there.

TORR now.
