Not only that, but the only active tornado warning in the country at the moment.

CC drop on that unwarned AL cell isn’t quite lined up with reflectivity (it is with the couplet though) but it has been there for several scans, maybe tornado

They finally put a... *squints* SVR on the Union Springs storm.

Skinny little nope rope. He says in the comments that it's dissipated.

 

[UncleJuJu98]

C'mon NWS there's a debris signature and you put a severe thunderstorm warning...

Storms kicking off in Louisiana and Mississippi, this is your round two.

Looking healthy. Modelling continues to suggest atmosphere recovers tonight (though this definitely isn't how it usually goes over down here).

Shear will be higher considering it'll be dark, may end up having more activity with this one than the one right now. Cape will still be around 1000-1500 which is pretty good

Some rotation in a storm west of Cartersville. I never trust transient spin-up cells once they reach the ATL Metro.

 

[Justin Hindman]

In pheonix city Alabama, near Columbus Georgia. Not much shear at all down here which is keeping the storms from dropping

 

[UncleJuJu98]

Tbh paremeters for the final wave tonight are a good chunk higher than the current afternoon wave right now lol. Atleast for central Alabama. Maybe more linear though

Pretty formidable squall line making its way across the SW ATL Metro atm.

I'll say this much, late-night linear setups with a hidden cyclonic surprise are perhaps my least favorite.

Dang, sorry to hear that. Glad you're still here.

 

[UncleJuJu98]

Just looking the low level shear and low level instability have not been too impressive or should I say meshed together we'll. Tonight will do a better job of that.
