[Equus]

Sigtor of 4 in the area of concern; there are cells along the dryline popping up again right in the middle of that. Could be an interesting next few hours.

Nasty little storm getting organized over Hazel Green. Storm near Tullahoma, TN is REALLY impressive, should go tornadic soon. TOR just as I typed that, actually

Special Weather Statement on storm north of Huntsville.

Mom said golf to baseball sized hail and a really strong RFD.

That storm near Alexander City sure seems to have good rotation (at least from the FFC radar).

wow!

Is Athens out of the threat area?

 

[ARCC]

wow!

Based on radar they were very close to where the tornado would be.

the very impressive storm on the AL/GA border is going right at you, albeit a few hours out so it likely won't look the same.

Really expecting those cells along the dry line to just train into Eastern AL and Western GA at a prime time. However, so far, something has been off just enough that although the storms look really good they aren't touching down just yet. Storm near Carrollton is really close.

Has that cell along I-20 become a right mover?

looks like it, the hook has even moved slightly south over the last couple of scans and you can see the storm getting sheared off on higher tilts of radar. Textbook of a very strong supercell.

Yeah, that thing is absolutely beautiful, wow.

Really afraid what it might do if that hail core tracks down 20 though, tornado aside.

Looks like it formed a decent hook as it crossed the AL/GA state line

 

[xJownage]

Scary that the storm happens to be heading right at the Atlanta metro. Feeling a little bad right now...

The stuff in south Georgia has become one big mess.
