re: Severe Weather: March 15-16, 2026

And we have an example. The merger has really ramped that rotation back up.

Between Minor Hill and Loretto, TN.

I’ve read conflicting reports for Birmingham all day. Some say we’re right in the target zone for 70+ mph winds with potential for tornadoes. The current AWS forecast says wind gusts up to 40 mph. I read earlier that the storms would weaken in the mid part of Alabama before increasing chances for tornados in Southeast Alabama. But the orange warning area extended to include Birmingham.

Any thoughts on what we’re about to experience?

I think most everyone in the state will be under at least a Severe Thunderstorm Warning at some point as this moves through.

Sirens going off here. Radar indicated tornado just south of us in Fern Creek (Jefferson)/Mt Washington (Bullitt County).

That's a nasty bowing line with lots of embedded rotations.

Which app is that?

Radar Scope. It may look a little different because it is an older version. I haven't updated it in a while.

Just drove from Monroe to Marksville. From about Grayson to around Deville that was some insane weather. Heavy arse rain, wind, hail, a big arse tree down on LA 28 by T-Towne. And the temp dropped about 25 degrees in 10 minutes.

Sitting at the Love's truck stop in Vicksburg MS for the night - was about 15 minutes of heavy rain and some wind and it's over. tbh the wind earlier this afternoon coming from Waco TX to here was worse than that storm. G'night again!

Getting light shows in the Zachary/Port Hudson area.

There was a tornado that did damage from the NW AL storm around the state line up to where it was on the screen cap I posted earlier. Structure damage, no reported injuries.

Yeah, I saw the duck. It is chilling in a puddle now amidst the debris.
