Considering I'm on the west coast these storms are rather unlikely to impact me directly, I just love radar watching lol... Though I have been operating on 5 hours of sleep all day and do have to be at work an hour early tomorrow. Thank goodness caffeine was invented...

Sounds like a hurricane outside. Probably gusting over 30 close to 40 at times.

Something to be on the lookout for. The main threat has shifted well into the nocturnal hours. I don't know about the Alabama coast and the Florida panhandle, but many cities along the Mississippi Gulf Coast do not have tornado sirens. If you have a loved one in that area, please make sure they have a way to be alerted about the weather.

Take a peek at radar south of Mobile......developing discrete cells in a band moving north/northeast.

Wind gust of 49mph at Bham airport around 7:40 PM CST. Interesting to see all the cells developing to the south of the rain mass over central AL. Gradient winds are no joke this evening. Power outages are up to over 26K statewide.

I feel like the low level cap is what's holding the event back at the moment. Kind of saw this coming, as this is usually how a lot of these events have went in the cold season. Damaging winds are going to continue to be a real problem. Hopefully people stay weather aware tonight.

I was hoping the same. I’m in Huntsville so not affected but was hoping to see some action on YouTube but most the streams don’t start till super late. Wonder if tomorrow might end up being a bigger event with more landmass to work with?

Inflow layer SRH >900 m2/s2. We knew this was coming though, it was well advertised by models far in advance, even the GFS which usually isn't this precise with such details. Fortunately the thermodynamics have kept the event in check so far, but as we know all it takes is one.

HOLY HELL IS ALL I CAN SAY!
Yeah, though always a bit crazy seeing the forecasted values irl when they're like this.

So has the event still not hit peak yet?

I don’t even think this has started let alone peak. The trouble makers are just now forming in the Gulf. Most the streams on YouTube aren’t starting till 1am

Nope… be patient. You can’t rush Dixie Alley, that’s not how it works lol

I noticed the hatching was removed from SE AL/SW GA.
