Looks like another radar-indicated TOR warning popped up on the ex-Tupelo cell. Headed right for Florence/Muscle Shoals, Alabama. Velocity doesn't look that impressive (and there's no TDS) but there's still potential for something to be on the ground.

Oh boy my laptop picked the perfect day to quit working entirely after the screen shattered last month... good thing I use TalkWeather on my desktop and phone.
edit: nevermind I thankfully got the thing to boot up after many, MANY attempts. I do use GetNEXRAD, tornadohq and various other meteorology programs and sites on that computer, so would be a shame if the thing broke on me in the midst of a tornado outbreak.

Yeah I was just about to climb into bed when the sirens went off (for Florence). I was all nice and relaxed and everything!

Also an enhanced on the new day one; Tuesday will be the third straight enhanced day. Interesting way to start May

Wow incredible structure tornado looks to be at least 3 quarters of a mile wide

TWC is a joke. All global warming and on-air people who think they are the show. Cantori and Abrams are so goofy I can barely watch.

This was the Yazoo tornado yesterday, notice it had a couple horizontal vortices

Went ahead and added May 5th (Wednesday) to the thread title since there is a marginal risk in Georgia and the Carolinas that day.

Woken up by lots of thunder in the west ATL metro. For it being 9:30 in the morning here these are some healthy storms.

Sad. This thread has a lot of damage photos. I hope the smaller towns aren’t forgotten since Tupelo was hit too.

I was watching the storm when it was heading for Calhoun City, the tds slowly but steadily grew, but when it went right over Calhoun it got really deep, hopefully no injuries or fatalities happened with this storm, especially late at night

Brief unwarned couplet and TDS in Douglas county, GA it seems
FFC is really on the ball again this morning it appears. That current radar presentation is pretty impressive, and could put down a tornado at any time again.

Completely agree. Looks to be wrapping up again.

They issued a TOR possible SVR warning just now.. but yeah the storm looks pretty organized on radar and a zone of convergence can be seen on the velocity mode.

TOR warning just issued.
