trapperman Posted April 28, 2011 Share Posted April 28, 2011 NWS Birmingham also deserves some kind of award. Their discos all week have been stellar, and they took the time right in the middle of all this to write this: http://forecast.weather.gov/product.php?site=NWS&issuedby=BMX&product=AFD&format=CI&version=1&glossary=1 What more can anyone do?

OceanStWx Posted April 28, 2011 Share Posted April 28, 2011 I'm afraid NW of Birmingham is going to end up being much worse than Tuscaloosa. On the level of Greensburg, KS or worse. It was certainly strengthening on the way from Tuscaloosa to Birmingham, I would say the best couplet was just prior to entering the western Birmingham suburbs.
