re: UPDATE: Another Potential Severe Weather Event for the South (insert dates)

EF-4 and EF-5 tornados used to be uncommon anywhere; now they seem to be routine. Look at what happened last year in Lee County, AL, Nashville in March and Mississippi Easter Sunday. Those were comparable to the megacyclones that have swarmed the Midwest for the last century.

From 1950-2007 there were 50 F5s, or .87 per year. Since then there have been 9, or .65 per year.

mad props to James Spann for staying on the air all day despite his house being seriously damages in the tornado that hit Eagle Point - with his wife at home.

that's a man that really is dedicated to making sure the rest of us has the info we need to stay safe.

Our southern cell has got to be dropping some hail.

Cold air advection continuing at 500 mb with warm air coming in at 850 mb. Storm is about to move into improved upper level divergence and improving low level dynamics.

Did you ever check out that Sat Squatch app/site?

Nope.

I still intend to.

This is in SW Alabama.

so... is that a downgrade to a regular tornado watch from a PDS tornado watch?

Sounds like it.

This is the discussion with that mesoscale discussion:

DISCUSSION...Radar mosaic shows several clusters of storms across AL
and a band of storms near the TN/MS/AL border as of 7pm CDT.
Although a considerable amount of convection has led to rain-cooled
temperatures and a reduction in instability over north-central and
northern AL, a moist and adequately unstable airmass remains in
place given the presence of mid 60s dewpoints near the TN border to
upper 60s over south-central AL. Very strong low to mid-level flow
will conditionally support updraft rotation with established/mature
updrafts. It appears the overall severe risk has lessened compared
to earlier this afternoon, but isolated large hail, damaging gusts,
and a tornado threat will probably persist through much of the
evening. It is unclear whether more than a few storms will pose a
severe risk, but the environment will at least favor some potential
for severe.
