Sigh. Crazy how they’ve all been in that 50 or so on mile swath.

I’m sure there is a meteorological reason, but it sucks nonetheless.

There's been a quasi front from all the rain to the north hanging around all day. The long tracks have been rooting in that boundary and you enhance that low level inflow and spin.

At least that's what it has looked like to me today.

Well that was a weird reflectivity/velocity frame just now. Like it broadened out and closed it from the north.

This day/outbreak is going to get some serious research thrown at it. There's a whole lot going on that even top-notch mets aren't understanding right now. One of the main ones is, why no development farther north? Nothing is even trying to get going when it does pop up (not that I am complaining). It is odd how the setup played out.

This tornado just plowed straight through Lake Mitchell. My dad lived on Lake Mitchell for about 10 years up until a few years ago. He still has some friends that live there. Quite a few nice houses on that lake.

That's a big part of it. The storm motion of this front coming into North AL is another. It is more aligned with the shear. Models didn't pick that up.

Also, the storms firing earlier than expected over central AL had an impact on the whole day.

I said that meaning North AL, not forgetting the warnings in southern TN. Even they have been mostly embedded.

Saw that. Local mets questioned NWS Huntsville leaving them out to start with with those storms still to their south.

This most recent supercell blew up and faded in 30 minutes. Debris signature and all. Is that partially because of the forward speed? Seems around 55mph.

If not, how does speed impact development, if at all.
