I just went through a patch in Ponchatoula / Hammond Louisiana around 7:30-7:45 that was incredible. Everyone on 1-12 pulled over or drove 10-15 mph for about ten minutes. It had to be a supercell with everything blowing sideways including small tree branches . The rain was intense. When I got to Baton Rouge there was a huge full size tree blocking the Millerville exit. I have to say I was impressed with people being cautious. I did not see “ that guy”.
Feeling dread for those of you in Mississippi, Alabama, Georgia etc. Stay safe .

this may be one of the more interesting things i've ever read in one of these weather threads but it makes perfect sense. never considered different offices doing different things like that. always just think of NWS as NWS
NWS Birmingham has worked hard over the last 10-12 years to reduce its false alarm ration (issuing tornado warnings where nothing ever happens). I think tonight they will issue severe thunderstorm warnings with a “tornado possible” tag and save the tornado warnings for when there is decent evidence that a tornado may occur or is occurring.

We’re going to see the difference in philosophy between NWS offices for squall line tornadoes when this thing crosses the state line. NWS Jackson has been blanket issuing tornado warnings for the squall line. NWS Birmingham doesn’t typically do that. They issue tornado warnings only when something truly warrants a warning.
Memphis is the same way. It is crazy the number of warnings that don't get carried over by Huntsville.

And on cue, NWS Birmingham has issued severe thunderstorm warnings instead of tornado warnings for its first row of counties in west Alabama.

Which is absolutely the correct move going forward for all NWS offices to try to keep people from
Ignoring warnings
Next on the list is reducing the staggering amount of Severe thunderstorms warnings that don't verify but one thing at a time

Basically one large Severe Thunderstorm Warning with a tornado possible tag.
