yoda Posted March 17, 2021 Share Posted March 17, 2021 Mesoscale Discussion 0209 NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 0224 PM CDT Wed Mar 17 2021 Areas affected...Central AL Concerning...Tornado Watch 29...33... Valid 171924Z - 172100Z The severe weather threat for Tornado Watch 29, 33 continues. SUMMARY...A corridor more favorable for the development of strong tornadoes may be evolving across central AL. DISCUSSION...Radar imagery from BMX, GWX, and MOB continues to show a cluster of supercells over west-central AL. The downstream air mass is characterized by temperatures in the low/mid 70s and dewpoints in the upper 60s. As noted in the recent BMX sounding, this air mass is less buoyant than farther west (along the central MS/AL border) where this cluster initially developed. However, in contrast to the slightly less favorable thermodynamics, surface winds here are more southeasterly, veering to southerly in the low-levels, and then southwesterly farther aloft. This is resulting in considerable low-level vertical shear. Recent VAD profile from BMX sampled 350+ m2/s2 of 0-1 km storm-relative helicity. Given the already organized character of these storms, potential exists for the development of strong tornadoes if a more discrete nature can be maintained. ..Mosier.. 03/17/2021 ...Please see www.spc.noaa.gov for graphic product...

kayman Posted March 17, 2021 Share Posted March 17, 2021 I'm originally from and grew up in Birmingham. This is a classic setup for a tornado outbreak for sure.

janetjanet998 Posted March 17, 2021 Share Posted March 17, 2021 a worst case would be a NE tornado moving just south of the interstate because it would tear up dense urban areas for many miles due to the shape of the urban layout the big ones seem to go just north of that area north of downtown Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kayman Posted March 17, 2021 Share Posted March 17, 2021 The Metro Birmingham storm likely going to be a right mover because of its setup. I fear it's also ahead of the main cluster, thus going to maneuver on its own. Graysville, Fultondale, and Gardendale will need to be on alert for sure.

It's still heavily populated along the the I-65 corridor between Gardendale and downtown Birmingham. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
