Severe WX Severe Weather Threat 4/5/17-4/6/17

[Kory]

Significant CAD per mesoanalysis in North Georgia.

 

[Richardjacks]

Debris signature indicated on vipir radar per Fox 6 for Talladega storm

it did merge with that other cell, just not much rotation

 

[Bama Ravens]

Just passing on info

Oh no, I appreciate that. Just curious what they are seeing to consider it a debris signature.

Likely hail being ingested into the mesocyclone.

 

[Equus]

Yeah the Sipsey storm I have been watching looks like it's dying on reflectivity, despite an impressive sky appearance. Hard to believe given how hot and humid it was out.

 

[JayF]

Really? Doesn't look very tight on radar.

Not very good convergence in West AL.

What is your DP over in Saragossa?

 

[Tyler Penland]

Significant CAD per mesoanalysis in North Georgia.

Yeah very impressive. Sun has been out some which should help weaken it a bit. That boundary will be a place to watch later, though.

 

[AL_ham_op]

Temp 81, DP 67 in the Pinson area. So, is the threat pretty much over for the Birmingham area?

 

[Equus]

I don't have a home station at the moment regrettably, but the dew point in nearby Jasper has dropped to 64 from 66 and is probably lower than that by now; dryline has passed

 

[Equus]

TOR near Albion, IL; that whole line from there to TN is going severe

SPC thinks there's a decent strong tornado potential over the next few hours pretty much along the AL/GA line. Seems to be lining up pretty well with what was expected yesterday, really.

 

[NorthBamaWX]

well thank goodness another Forecasted Convective Amplification Deficiency for north alabama

 

[RF16Gold]

Another big supercell blowing up on Calhoun/St. Clair line near Ohatchee.

 

[Equus]

There really hasn't been much development ahead of the line yet in the high risk area in GA. Only the initial line, which is still going strong with both SVR and TOR.

Two inch hail in that intense storm near Anniston. Quite a monster.

 

[Equus]

Tornado warning, Cleburne county.

 

[GA Stormchaser]

Think we just got a Tornado Warning on the Storm south of Anniston.

 

[buckeye05]

I'm thinking the 30% area is going to Forecasted Convective Amplification Deficiency hard in terms of significant tornado potential. The storm mode is just is not going to be conducive.

 

[barcncpt44]

Just got a lot of pea to dime sized hail and high wind just south of downtown Anniston.

 

[NorthGaWeather]

Good destabilization occuring across Western Georgia in advance of those two cells in Calhoun/Cleburne/Cherokee counties.
