This looks like a non event in central Carolina’s. Euro and Canadian don’t even hardly rain here

I don't know if I can think of a single storm system over the past 6 months that didn't lose momentum once it got into our region. 6 out of the last 7 years have been above average rainfall, so this may buck the trend and be below average.

Focus of this one seems to be west of the Apps for now thank goodness

The main threat on Saturday is bullseye on the Birmingham metro area and secondarily in the Metro Atlanta area. That's a densely populated region of about 8 million people between the two metros. 

That's where most of my immediate family resides. AL and GA posters should be on alert all day Saturday because this is looking to be a very serious severe threat

Not good! Wife and I are leaving Triad to spend weekend with daughter in Greenville. Leaving Saturday morning to go down. Planning to get there between 1 & 2 to try to miss heaviest of rains and storms. Have tickets to play that night. Coming back Sunday following lunch after everything clears out. Hopefully will miss the worst of the storms.

Now James Spann of WBMA/Birmingham is now speaking on the ominousness of this particular severe weather threat for AL. It is looking like Friday night through Saturday night will be a volatile weather period in the entire Greater Birmingham area from Cullman to Tuscaloosa to Clanton to Gadsden and Anniston/Oxford.  

Quote

SIGNIFICANT SEVERE WEATHER THREAT: A high-end severe weather risk is setting up for Alabama in the broad window from 10pm Friday through 3am Sunday. All of Alabama is in an “enhanced risk” as defined by SPC, NOAA’s Storm Prediction Center. There will be two primary rounds of thunderstorms.

FRIDAY NIGHT/SATURDAY MORNING: The first batch of storms associated with this very dynamic storm system will move into Northwest Alabama Friday night. These storms will continue into Saturday morning over the northern half of the state; hail and damaging winds are possible along with an isolated tornado or two.

SATURDAY AFTERNOON/SATURDAY NIGHT: This will likely be the “main show”. Storms will be capable of producing large hail, damaging winds, and tornadoes. Based on forecast parameters, a few strong/long track tornadoes will be possible (EF-2 or higher). These storms should be out of the state by daybreak Sunday.

This is a forecast sounding from eastern MS from the 18Z NAM. Those are some scary parameters. Right now I would be surprised if there are not at least a couple of long-track strong tornadoes Saturday over MS and AL especially.
