[Brandon]

HRRR still on board with a pretty wicked bow coming through N AL.

Oh boy, going to be a bumpy ride out of BHM this evening, assuming my flight isn't cancelled.

HRRR still on board with a pretty wicked bow coming through N AL.

This places the bowing segment considerably farther north than previous runs. Maybe some 50-60 miles.

 

[RainyMorning]

Couple areas of warned rotation SW of Jackson, MS. Looks like embedded in the line, with some strong winds ATM.

 

[RollTide18]

The tornado threat looks pretty serious down here tonight, not liking the supercell look at all.

 

[Equus]

Gonna be a classic QLCS tornadofest across parts of MS, I can see that right now. We'll see if any of the junk stuff out ahead can develop and maintain supercell structures long enough to take advantage of the environment; I don't usually have too high hopes for cells this close to the coast

 

[CheeselandSkies]

Looks like rotation tightening up near Adams, MS. No CC drop as of yet.

 

[RainyMorning]

I've just touched base with all my family in the Jackson area giving them the heads up. Looks nasty over there.

It just dropped a debris sig

Radarscope seems to be working for me right now, but if it fails tonight when things start happening here in North Alabama, it'll be their second outage on a day with possible severe weather IMBY in the last month or so. That isn't what I paid $10 for.

RadarScope has issues more than it should. Thinking of something else come renew time.

 

[RainyMorning]

All my family in Clinton are sheltered right now waiting for the storm.

NWS Jackson posted on Facebook:

Confirmed tornado was spotted along Dry Grove Road in Raymond along Highway 18. Stay in your safe place and take cover now!!

 

[kcyalater]

Jackson storm's radar presentation isn't nearly what it was as it came through Learned, MS.

 

[Kory]

This bow echo is gonna ride 20/59 eastward.

 

[Taylor Campbell]

This is a nasty start. The worst of things do not happen till this evening, and overnight.

I think they said there was a TDS on this one per the ABC affiliate in Jackson

Said it was over Harrisville heading towards Braxton...

Wow, that really tightened up on the radar heading towards Braxton...
