2 fatalities in the FL panhandle near Alford, FL in a very rural area. Nighttime tornado in an area that doesn't get a lot of them. Terrible for those impacted.

Winds delivered in Mississippi, and the breakdown just led to tornadoes in Alabama.
Good forecast on this one.

Wow, right over the moderate risk zone.

Those symbols on that map look like a particular county shape.

Looking like yes.
so why do these systems seem like they get a weekly pattern this time of year? is it just because that is the timeframe for the systems to come together and the other to move on?
I have a very vivid memory of getting hit with these systems every weekend during 2020, mostly because I was at home and had my computer set up on my dining room table and would stay up all night watching storm chasers, but also being mad that it was every weekend

I wonder why the EF3 tornado in northwest Arkansas isn’t on the map.
It caused a lot of damage and injuries.

Interesting question.
Big picture, you can think of the atmosphere as a set of waves going around the world. You get peaks (ridges) and troughs and there's a period between them.
The periods differ and the number of waves differ depending on details (that I dont understand well enough to explain in plain english). Right now, its about 7 days between them.
Then when its March/April, you have many of the ingredients for severe already in place. Warming Gulf and cold air still in the west and southern Canada. Plus the snowpack in the Rockies leads to cooling the mid-levels as it passes over, leading to colder air aloft and warmer gulf air under it.
So you just need an upper low (trough in our big picture oversimplifed wave) to induce low pressure formation at the surface and you get severe weather threats.
In summer, this all still happens just much further north. In winter you see it as cold snaps, rain, and the occasional severe threat near the coast.

I see your sarcasm.
I'll say this much, the next round does not look as potent as the last two did.

I imagine it's a 24-hour map... my guess being 7 AM Wednesday to 7 AM Thursday or something like that

Yeah. It was on the previous period's map.

It should be on the day before.
ETA: My bad. Replied before finishing the thread.

Either weather reads the OT and hates Jackson OR there's alot of insurance fraud going on over there

High CAPE environment on the 5th?

Looking through the observation sites for AL and MS, it looks like the gradient winds maximized over an area from Bham up to the Morgan/Limestone county area. Birmingham saw the highest gust at 58mph. The Decatur observation site, which is in Limestone County (even though Decatur is in Morgan County) saw a 5 minute sustained of 40mph with a max gust of 55mph. That site experienced a problem and stopped reporting around 9PM-ish, but I don't think it missed higher winds.
These were all winds that were ahead of the line. The line really didn't give us any trouble. Heavy rain for a bit with an uptick in winds as one section hit a pocket of higher instability.
We have a few limbs down and a neighbor had the top taken out of a tree that was already damaged.

Looks like April CAPE.
This next setup isn't looking nearly as potent as the last two. The trough ejection doesn't look very good, the lower level jet is oddly placed, away from where storms will develop. That CAPE maximizes early before storms get going. That said, that is the GFS and five days out.
It does look like a hell of alot of rain for somebody, though.
