Severe WX Severe Wx Threat - 1/19/19

[Bama Ravens]

Since we have had multiple tornado warnings, and currently have a warning for Tuscaloosa County, AL, I figured a dedicated thread would be a good idea.

 

[Bama Ravens]

Tornado warning for Tuscaloosa appears to have been cancelled.

 

[warneagle]

Tornado warning for Greene. Couplet is just northeast of Gainesville, moving toward Union.

That storm could also be a problem for Tuscaloosa if it holds together. It’s tightened up the last couple of scans.

 

[Jacob]

The first storm is ramping back up, may need a TOR for northeast Tuscaloosa county now.

 

[warneagle]

New warning for Tuscaloosa and Jefferson.

 

[MichelleH]

Tornado watch expanded to include Tuscaloosa, Jefferson and St. Clair Counties.

 

[MichelleH]

Warning for Tuscaloosa and Jefferson cancelled.

 

[Bama Ravens]

Warning for Tuscaloosa/Jefferson has been cancelled.

I-85 corridor (Montgomery, Auburn) may have some issues this afternoon going by the last ~4 runs of the HRRR. Seems to be suggesting a semi-discrete supercell tracking across the area with well in excess of 400 m2/s2 0-1 km SRH.

And of course a ton of people are in Auburn because there's a big basketball game at 3 CST

It is amazing how lackadaisical people were when the sirens were going off. I was at Target and people are just moseying around the store shopping.

That's disturbing. I would have thought 2011 would still be fresh in people's minds in your city.

Even with a historic outbreak not far back in time, the lack of events since then aside from 4/28/2014 will do that.

Is that image from BMX? You can see the rotation pretty tight on MXX.

Also, confirmed tornado from MXX, TDS on the last few scans.

That storm really needs two seperate tornado warnings. The northern one with the TDS for obvious reasons, and the southern circulation might put one down any minute now. Though I guess technically both are in the warning polygon.

 

[warneagle]

Still a clear TDS north of Autaugaville.

New couplet forming to the north of there and new warning for Autauga has been issued

EDIT: confirmed tornado now

Good call on the 2 separate warnings.
