INSANE.

Can't decide whether the hodograph or the EML is the most impressive part of that sounding.
Also idk who did the color scheme for the text on that but it's really hard to read.

Whaaat? It's perfectly readable /s
Real talk, though, that is a gnarly hodograph; combine that with even modest instability and the Gulf moisture and that's a recipe for bad things. Got a lot of family in the Pensacola area; fingers crossed something mucks up the atmosphere tomorrow into Tuesday.

Gradient winds alone are going to be an issue.....

I'm not colorblind (my dad is but I dodged the genetic bullet) but I can only imagine that would be totally impossible to read.

How can people (the public) read these AFD from the NWS office? I have only seen them from
The IEMbot site
On the WFO's main page, you can hover over "Forecasts" and the AFD should show up as an option as "Forecaster's Discussion."

Anytime!
00z run looks nasty for the mobile NWS office...
I feel for those guys tommorow night into Tuesday morning

Well the environment off the 00z high res guidance is certainly eye opening. Going to be hard for that warm sector to not come ashore with storm force winds over the Gulf trying to shove it north. The LLJ here is just about as strong as I’ve seen with a setup that has access to potentially moderate buoyancy. Things are going to be spinning regardless of storm mode, but the question is whether a few embedded supercells can become established within the WAA regime.
Either way, very fast storm motions and the nocturnal component in a vulnerable area as far as socio-economic status is concerned is not a great combination.

We could definitely see our first Moderate Risk of 24 from SPC tomorrow given trends and should these trends continue.
Probably the biggest tornado risk for that area in over 10 years. (2012 Christmas day.)
That's the one I was trying to think of earlier! Was that an overnight event? Honestly, can't remember.
I think for most of the Alabama stuff it was. They caught that twister on camera in mobile during the night

Put this hodograph in the Louvre
LLJ is almost at 100mph in the NWS mobile region.
That's incredible
