Sooooo, BR looks to be in the clear in this whole thing right? I’m looking at the radar and all the crap is north and south of our area. Is there anything big behind us I can’t see yet? Forecast is for heavy rain starting at 2 but I’m not seeing anything.

Are you looking for there to be discrete cells right now? The atmosphere over Mississippi and Alabama isn’t even ripe yet, so there aren’t going to be discrete cells at this time.


Too much rain and clustered tstorms right now. It’s not warm enough and the energy is being killed from the rain.

This will be nothing significant

This is a nasty line of storms no doubt but the hype of long track tornadoes in discreet cells and the comparison to April 2011 outbreak was complete bs

The event isn’t over, it’s very early. The ripe area should be in Alabama and Miss. I hope you are right, but these folks need to stay vigilant.

I've already explained this to you once. The atmosphere over MS and AL IS NOT YET RIPE for discrete supercells. That comes later this afternoon/evening/tonight. Also, don't discount the tornado producing abilities of the squall line.

Could this bust and we don't get strong, long track tornadoes from supercells? Yes, but there is no way to make that declaration right now.

Levi Cowan retweeted a thread from one of the SPC forecasters. The guy was attempting to explain the reasoning behind the SPC's Outlook scale. 17 tweets later and most people are probably more confused than ever.
He did say that he knows he will regret ever starting the conversation.

Yeah, this is a little disturbance ahead of the main energy this evening and looking at the surface obs the warm front is pushing into central MS. 74/67 in Jackson and dews above 70 down around Brookhaven and Natchez.

My lingering question is if there's going to be enough to break the cap ahead of this first system and how much it will contaminate the environment for the second wave but with the wind picking up outside my window down in Louisiana you'd think recovery could come pretty quickly.

The wording and language from the SPC has been nowhere near what it was leading up to and on April 27. In fact, I struggle to remember a high end severe weather setup with as much uncertainty from the SPC as today. Even now, on their statement, they acknowledge the messy setup and all the variables. This is not a cut and dry severe weather day like April 27, 2011, then, very few are.

Ah hell, I'm terrible at linking Twitter. Let me go see if I can find it again. Levi retweeted it.
