  1. And getting larger on the video stream, it is going to be a very close call for Tuscaloosa.
  2. Sounds like Walker County, Alabama tornado is cycling. BMX WCM reported two tornadoes with one roping out while he was on the phone.
  3. Near Pisgah, AL, two tornadoes on the ground, one very large and the second one anticyclonic (both doing damage with debris balls).
  4. Even the relatively small storms are showing impressive signatures, like this BWER. Very reminiscent of how the storms developed on 6/5/10.
  5. Everything is spinning because updrafts have 1000 m2/s2 helicity to work with, and plenty of low level CAPE to stretch it. Then add in that 0-1 km shear is 50+ kts and you will have many, many strong and probably more than a few violent tornadoes.
  6. Not just that many supercells with tornadic signatures, but that many supercells with strong tornadic signatures.
  7. Hackleburg, AL just got rocked, dBZs in the debris ball spiked to 65 when the tornado went through town. Gut wrenching feeling to say the least.
  8. Nice vortex hole on the radar with that cell. And the cell affecting Arab, AL, 150 kts gate to gate, very likely a large and very destructive tornado ongoing.
  9. Getting even closer to the surface, you're looking at 55 knots at 925 mb this evening.
  10. Just took at a look at the GEFS to see what it had to offer for early next week. As others have said details are pointless to discuss at this range, but there are very encouraging signals. Probably most notably is 500 heights. Definitely a seasonably strong trough ejecting out into the central part of the country, as well as a seasonably strong jet digging down the backside. You can see where the other atmospheric responses then line up (seasonably strong surface reflection, strong LLJ, etc.).
