WPC talking about the potential for catastrophic flooding across a corridor from east-central Mississippi across central Alabama and into Georgia.

Radar estimates, which are pretty accurate, have a swath of 6"+ across central AL. The FF Warning calls for an additional 1-3" across the area. There will be some problems.

Where are you? Keep an eye on the comma head forming West of Selma. That's a rear inflow jet that is trying to wrap up a bookend vortex.


I'm at work in Alex City.
I'm keepin my eye on the radar for sure. Luckily the temp just dropped real fast again down to 65.
We have had some unreal amounts of rain since yesterday.

Yep. See the graphic RTR just posted. Talks of catastrophic flooding and you're area is in it. Don't know what time you clock out, but that could be a tough drive home.

There used to be one there back in the day but it was decommissioned in the late 90’s and never replaced. We need one there and then another back near Greenville, MS.


This. Meridian NAS and the old Greenville AFB would be a good start.

My preferred location for a new radar has been a little bit more east, around Linden, south of Demopolis. Anywhere down there would help.

I'll be here until about 7:30 am. I've got a 25 mile drive home, across several big creeks too.

Between Millbrook and Deatsville looks like a bookend vortex trying to form.

That's around the Equality/Eclectic area. Exactly where a small tornado went through a few weeks ago.

That makes sense. It's really cooled way down.
Just a lot of rain and lightning now. There really hasn't even been much wind.

That area I mentioned finally wrapped up and is warned now. South of Dadeville. Shouldn't last long as it has lost its rear inflow notch.

They did a pretty good job of calling for bad weather today and tonight in that fairly narrow area across Alabama and into Georgia.
We're just north of that and all the bad weather has tracked just south of us in the watch areas

Yep, That's how it should be done.

Could use that KMXX radar right about now.

ETA: tornado warning canceled.

I'm guessing it is being refurbished?
