Mesoscale Discussion 0374
   NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
   1028 PM CDT Sun Apr 12 2020

   Areas affected...parts of Alabama and into western and central
   Georgia and portions of the Florida Panhandle

   Concerning...Tornado Watch 110...

   Valid 130328Z - 130500Z

   The severe weather threat for Tornado Watch 110 continues.

   SUMMARY...Severe/tornado risk continues across WW 109 and 110, and
   will spread eastward into western and central Georgia and parts of
   the Florida panhandle over the next few hours.

   DISCUSSION...Latest radar loop shows convection now occurring in a
   complex/broken band from the southern Appalachians
   south-southwestward to near Mobile Bay.  Within this band, several
   well-organized clusters of storms -- including numerous rotating
   updrafts and comma heads -- are indicated.  Mixed-layer CAPE of 1000
   to 1500 J/kg is indicated across this region, and extreme low-level
   shear is observed (0-1km shear 40 to 50 kt and 0-1km storm-relative
   helicity in excess of 700 m2/s2 across GA).

   Given the environment, tornado risk remains high with stronger
   clusters embedded within the main convective band, and with any
   cells which may develop in advance of the line.  A new tornado watch
   will be issued shortly across southern and eastern Alabama, and into
   Georgia and the Florida Panhandle.

I really wish metro ATL and more of the northern ATL suburbs would have been placed under a Tornado Watch prior to the 11PM news cycle. 

Folks are going to go to bed tonight not even knowing about the Tornado Watch that's likely inbound. Hopefully they've been paying attention, but I wish they would have pulled the trigger by now.

Yeah, I don’t get that, either. They should have pulled the trigger.

Today definitely ended up being a tornado outbreak, it may not have happened the way we anticipated a few days ago, but its going to end up with dozens of tornadoes when all is said and done, with several significant high-end tornadoes as well.
