It’s headed NE out of Brookhaven and headed to Monticello. Was this the tornado that was In Meadville?

I’m in NW Amite county. There was one on the ground in Franklin county headed into amite a few minutes ago. Just windy with lots of thunder and lightning right now. We are the new tornado alley.

This was the best window for this setup to produce tornadoes. The front coming down from the north progressed faster than modeled, limiting the severe threat for the northern extent. Had the storm in the Montgomery area earlier today try everything to produce, but just couldn't get it done. The LLJ kicked in, and in what remained of the warm sector those storms still hanging around got a boost.

There have been some big hailers in southern AL today, as well.

You can look at the traffic on i55 and tell where it crossed. Dead stopped.

Likely a multi-vortex tornado at the moment. Two clear couplets.

Monticello may have just caught a huge break. The rotation broadened abruptly on the latest scan.

Let's see if this debris is just debris that has been lofted and is cycling out. I think it dissipated/lifted just before getting into Monticello.

There is no strong couplet, and it looks more outflow dominant right now.

That said, it still has a decent inflow notch and could reform to the NE of Monticello.
