At the moment, I'm most impressed with the cell just east of Parkers Crossroads, TN.

TOR warned now

Getting some peaks of sun every now and then. 73 degrees.

Good call, I wasn't looking for stuff to be getting going that far northeast yet.

I think the one you mentioned, south of Holly Springs, is getting ready to go as well.

Excellent mesoscale update by BMX.

AFD from KBMX

That’s written like they were trying to teach me about forecasting while explaining their current forecast. If any of the lurkers here are weather curios or want get started getting into the details more like I am they really should give this a read.

semi-discretes are breaking out on the cold front. still a lot to happen for the northern target...southern target looks like a mess with inability to get discrete RMs.

BMX really is top notch. They are also very responsive on Twitter (unless they are in the middle of an event).

I don't know how they do it, because i see the hundreds of weenies who spam tag them with radar images during events...as if BMX isn't monitoring radar or something.

Watch those couplets trying to form around the Taylorsville/Mt Olive/Collins (NW of Hattiesburg) and Tylertown in extreme south C MS. Expect a TOR

I have received questions on how to insert images via upload or by using a link to insert the image without taking up the entire page. I created a video to help everyone see and understand how to do it.

James Spann is doing his live weather videos and he's saying the ridge might be putting a lid on severe weather development looking at the thunderstorms developing now.. Though it could change.

TORW for Central Humphreys County in TN (extension of prior warning for Benton)

They do it because they get a lot of “practice” that they dont have a choice in LOL…. IMO, FCC does not get to track/forecast/warn the same kind of weather as often as BMX does. AL is directly to the north of the GOF and has direct access to warm air. GA has FL to the south which can kind of “block” that surge of moisture AL can get so easily. GA is also further east so the ingredients have to come together differently (for lack of a better word) than they do in AL. The only exception might be NW GA (like Rome/Ringold, and may Newnan). Those are the only 2 EF4s GA has had that I know of.

That is not to say AL outbreaks are IMPOSSIBLE for GA, just seems to be less likely here… FOR NOW.

Storm in N MS headed for Ripley is trying to get it together
