the number of tonado warnings that die at the Miss/Ala border...

Great

This has become a big problem, radars going down during severe events, happened with the Macon radar back on March 3rd.

So does this mean this event may be through here before 8am tomorrow?

 

[Taylor Campbell]

Have fun Kory!

 

[NorthBamaWX]

Tornado Watch expanded to include Jefferson, Shelby, Coosa, Elmore, Montgomery & Pike Counties until 11 pm

 

[Argus]

Also, the strongest part of the storm like Sunday's first line is lagging behind the leading edge of the rain.

 

[NorthBamaWX]

i dont know about you guys but i think this is becoming more of a straight line wind event

 

[Taylor Campbell]

Watch out near Millport, and Vernon. We may have two spin ups developing at this time.

I'm okay with that since I live in the NW corner by the border!!

A bit underwhelming when looking at radar velocities. A lot of that isn’t making it to the ground but we some gusts I’d say close to 50 mph.

good to hear, you still have power?

NWS BMX reports a 53mph gust at Tuscaloosa Airport about 5/10 min ago.

 

[warneagle]

Fayette is about to get pounded. That part of the line is packing some serious gusts.

Yep. A lot of the traffic lights are messed up but outside of a few branches down, everything is fine.

Yeah Robins AFB has a bad tendency to do that (it’s kind of misnamed, the radar isn’t even in the same county as the base).

 

[WesL]

Brett Adair posting damage near Morton, MS. If you don't already follow him on FB go for it. He always has great content.

 

[Jetstream]

The winds behind the squall line more significant here. Power has gone on/off here twice

Yeah, just as I’m typing this. It’s almost a wake low kind of event.

 

[WesL]

Reading through damage reports from BMX and mostly just trees down.
