Watching that one. I always focus on the lonely duckling away from all the other storms. It's in a good spot. 

It's velocity now east of I-65 is increasing rapidly with each scan. Likely large tornado continues. New CC drop becoming very prevalent.

That'll head up towards the eastern side of Tuscaloosa.

Speaking of...

Spann doing a terrible job today. Kept mentioning numerous times that storm would miss Tuscaloosa by a long shot, when in reality it had been running parallel to I-20 for  quite a while.

Likely about to get a sizeable tornado NW of Birmingham if it's not down just yet. Velocity continues to strengthen & tighten.

I was surprised to hear him say that.  

 

That's a lot of warnings on the radar right now btw.
