Most will see impacts from a strong line of thunderstorms marching across Texas and Louisiana.
As usual, straight line winds are a bigger overall concern than tornadoes, but if discrete cells get going, the potential is there.
That pretty much sums up January - May in LA.

There will be a cap across the warm sector
What does this mean?

There was a guy in North Alabama that had built a storm shelter. I also believe he was some sort of meteorologist,too.
On the day of the April 27 2011 tornado outbreak he was watching a tornado head to his house, but the shelter was on the other side of the house and he wasn't able to make it to it before the tornado ripped up his home.
He did survive though

Cap(also called "Lid") A layer of relatively warm air aloft, usually several thousand feet above the ground, which suppresses or delays the development of thunderstorms. Air parcels rising into this layer become cooler than the surrounding air, which inhibits their ability to rise further and produce thunderstorms. As such, the cap often prevents or delays thunderstorm development even in the presence of extreme instability. However, if the cap is removed or weakened, then explosive thunderstorm development can occur.
The cap is an important ingredient in most severe thunderstorm episodes, as it serves to separate warm, moist air below and cooler, drier air above. With the cap in place, air below it can continue to warm and/or moisten, thus increasing the amount of potential instability. Or, air above it can cool, which also increases potential instability. But without a cap, either process (warming/moistening at low levels or cooling aloft) results in a faster release of available instability - often before instability levels become large enough to support severe weather development.

Dr. Josh Eachus had a pretty cool briefing on the system yesterday. I don't think I have ever seen such a sharp narrow dip in the stream as is being predicted with this system before.

Do you remember which county?

From the NWS office in Birmingham:
No, I don't remember what county. Madison is my guess.

A quick heads up, at 10 am this morning, we will host a Facebook Live streaming a briefing of the weather expected Saturday. Tune back in at 10 am to hear one of our meteorologists explain what we are expecting.

I see a LOT of discrete cells ahead of that squall for ETX and W AL specifically, looking at that NAM photography.
