Here is my personal weather radar. She only jumps into my lap when storms are coming. They aren't even close yet and she jumped in my lap.

New TOR watch more than likely coming for N.E. Alabama counties not currently in the existing watch.

Mesoscale Discussion 0614
NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
0121 PM CDT Sun Apr 30 2017

Areas affected...northeast Alabama...northwest Georgia...middle
Tennessee into extreme southern Kentucky

Concerning...Severe potential...Watch likely

Valid 301821Z - 301915Z

Probability of Watch Issuance...80 percent

SUMMARY...Threat for isolated damaging wind and a couple of
tornadoes is expected to increase this afternoon over middle
Tennessee into southern Kentucky. Also additional storms farther
west across north central AL should eventually move into northeast
AL and northwest GA. A ww will likely be issued downstream from ww
182 prior to 19Z.

DISCUSSION...Early this afternoon a band of convection extends
across the western portions of middle TN with more organized
activity farther south into northern AL. The downstream atmosphere
is only marginally unstable with widespread clouds slowing diabatic
warming of the boundary layer. Nevertheless, as temperatures slowly
warm through the 80s F MLCAPE from 500-1000 J/kg will become
sufficient to support at least a modest threat for organized storms
given strengthening deep-layer, unidirectional winds, 30-40 kt
effective bulk shear, and around 200 m2/s2 0-1 km storm relative
helicity based on current storm motions. The convection is expected
to gradually increase or maintain intensity as it develops east next
few hours. Storms may organize with embedded meso-vortices and
bowing segments posing a risk for isolated damaging wind and a
couple of tornadoes.

Nice strengthening of the N AL line the past hour. Should be pretty gusty. Cloud tops are still quite low, don't expect much lightning or hail

What do you guys think about the potential for redevelopment this evening?
We should get some redevelopment later this evening and overnight, but I'm skeptical about atmospheric recovery that would lead to any severe. Likely just another round of rain, despite the HRRR bullish moisture return.

So I just went outside here in east middle TN... its in the 80's and humid.... windy windy windy... makes me wonder if that line may intensify as it heads east

Well the comma head looking feature that was warned near Fayette came nearly overhead, but there was very little wind here fortunately. I would assume there certainly was elsewhere in the county though given velocity signatures.

Definite rotation looking NE from Coleman Lakes (looking toward Target on 459 Exit 1). Had an area very close to forming a wall cloud. Kind of surprised, but KGWX showed it exactly where I was looking (it was up a decent amount and not close to lowering).

Reminded me a bit of the first tornado I ever saw in Kansas, but it was pretty obvious this didn't have what it needed to do anything other than spin off an extremely ragged mini wall cloud.
