The incredible thing was that these events occurred long before climate change really kicked in.

Because severe weather has always existed, and occasionally these historic events are going to happen.

That's true, but...two EF-4 tornadoes in Arabi, in less than one year's time? Come on, man!

There were some places around Tanner, AL that were hit by two F-5 tornadoes on the same night during the 1974 Super Outbreak.

This is a tricky forecast. There hasn't been much in the way of consistency across models. That includes everything from the speed and position of the trough to where the dry line sets up and how far east it gets to temps across the warm sector.

The biggest issue at play is dry air aloft and a cap that will be in place for the southern mode. That is also a contributor as to why storms will fire late and why people shouldn't scream "bust" early with this one. The dry air will have to be overcome before storms can really take off. That could happen well after dark when the LLJ kicks in. Shear won't be an issue, CAPE won't be an issue, but that dry air and cap that is in the place can be a failure mode.

We haven't gotten any observed soundings across the area since this morning. Hopefully, we get some from the Noon hour to see how things are shaping up.

Sure did.

Then, the Hackleburg/Phil Campbell tornado on 4/27/2011 was still an EF5 when it tracked through roughly the same area.

If you map all the tornadoes around the Tanner area over the years, you can't see the town on the map.

Yeah, you're caught in that gap between outlooks. Timing-wise it could go on either day's outlook.

That area through Athens/Decatur through to the AL/TN line along with central MS between I20 to I59 through to Tuscaloosa would be my Dixie Alley epicenters.
