To a degree, but it should wane with time as the system moves East. Northwestern Alabama was always modeled to have the better shear values. The 15z Tuscumbia sounding illustrated it well.

Had marble sized hail up on Grandfather Mountain. Wasn't expecting anything severe up here today.

And it looks like the storm with the large hail is going to go right over our house. Ugh!

Probably unrelated, but does anyone know what that "plume" on FFC radar is coming toward Atlanta from the south? As of 18:18 local, the northern "boundary" is right at the south Buckhead are of Atlanta.

Pretty strong rotation near Linden, TN.

I'm not sure whether to check this event off has done where I am in north-central Alabama, or if I now need to shift to worrying about the line in southern Tennessee.

Jason Simpson said more storms are expected later tonight for North Alabama, so I'm wondering if it is the ones in Tennessee moving down.
Edit to add: yes, the storms in Tennessee are expected to move into north Alabama later tonight.

Impressive lighting from my view looking north towards downtown Birmingham with the storm that just rolled through.

Crazy wind gusts here is Crestwood (Birmingham). Anemometer grabbed 56 mph. Dime size hail for about 20 seconds. Storm moved through incredibly quick. Seriously about 2 minutes and it was out of here.....

HRRR has that line trucking quite far into North and Central Alabama.

They've allowed the watch to expire. What do you think about the severe/tornado chances with the line as it progresses south?

Looks pretty healthy, some decent embedded hail cores. Needless to say I'll be sleeping with the windows open tonight, prolific lightning producers.

I'm trying to understand why the watch wasn't extended. We have active warnings in the area.

The SPC hasn't been stellar as of late. Took them forever to include AL in higher risk areas for severe after being very bullish on Saturday. Kind of a head scratcher.

Yeah I think we should see that line maintain itself through midnight at least. It settles toward the I59/20 corridor weakening after midnight.

Had a little hail right just now. Mostly pea sized looked like.

All severe warnings have expired. Strong storms still pushing south, but they look to be slowly weakening.
