Confirmed Tornado in Morgan County
I think it was the NAM late last night that showed the boundary layer decoupling. Under clear sky I'm really starting to think it may happen.
Does James Spann always cover weather in other TV markets ? He's discussing storms in North AL even though they are in the Huntsville market I believe.
It would mean the severe threat greatly diminishes.FOR THE GOOD OR FOR THE BAD???
That is so confusing. Cullman should not be in the Huntsville CWA and Birmingham TV market.Occasionally it happens (I remember they were streaming coverage of the Christmas Day 2012 tornado in Mobile,) but the current storm is affecting Cullman County, which is part of the Birmingham TV market (despite being in the Huntsville CWA).
None of this is affecting IN, don’t stress!That is so confusing. Cullman should not be in the Huntsville CWA and Birmingham TV market.
I'm trying to understand why everyone is calling a bust already when this was always a late afternoon/evening/night time event. For example, my area was forecast to receive the worst around 9 or 10 pm. I have first hand witnessed a late night tornado. I get that instability lowers after sunset when you lose the heat, etc. I mean I hope it doesn't get bad, but I'm not throwing in the towel or letting my guard down yet because they latest models still show that it could get bad later on.

Areas affected...North central and northeast AL
Concerning...Tornado Watch 13...
Valid 192359Z - 200130Z
The severe weather threat for Tornado Watch 13 continues.
SUMMARY...Cluster of supercells will continue to pose a threat for
tornadoes, large hail, and damaging winds for the next few hours
along the warm front in north central and northeast AL.
DISCUSSION...A cluster of supercells continues to move
east-southeastward across north central AL this evening. Thus far,
the more intense storms have tended to be the lead cells in the
cluster, though interactions with upstream convection have
interfered with more classic supercell structures. Recent discrete
development south of the cluster will lead to additional cell
mergers and a continued messy convective mode. Still, the
storm-scale environment is favorable for tornadic supercells along
the surface warm front in AL, which represents the southern edge of
the stronger low-level shear/hodograph curvature and the northern
edge of the more unstable warm sector.
That is so confusing. Cullman should not be in the Huntsville CWA and Birmingham TV market.
