Totally bizarre.

James Spann who has been doing the weather in this state for decades "I can't recall the last time we had a moderate risk in this area in June"
This whole past few months has been crazy odd.
Looking at the latest HRRR runs, they may have to bump the moderate threat northward for the wind threat if the location of the MCS initiation pans out.
This would be not great for the Birmingham metro this afternoon. Not sure it would be a huge tornado threat but probably some massive hail

A tornado watch in mid June and without a tropical system. What universe are we in? 
My guess would be the highest tornado will probably occur in the book end vortex. Im definitely much more concerned with a Derecho than individual Supercells ATM.
*Edit: That said, that run was a scary look.

Severe thunderstorm watches are not out of the ordinary in Mid June but tornado watches are pretty unusual.

Derecho type event is my guess.

I think South GA should be under a tornado watch. There’s already a tornado warning !

Yeah. Supercells rapidly developing in southwest Alabama. Also a spotter report of a tornado with one of them.

South Georgia is getting rocked with tornado warnings
Observed tornado
Could be a bad situation unfolding for Tallahassee if it holds together
Hey guys I’m in Hardeesville sc at a hotel. Incredible storm. No power. Wind was pushing car back and forth.

Definitely weakening. Time to wait for round 2,3. And 4.
Another bowing segment
Meanwhile, the threat is escalating quickly for TX and OK later today. We've gone from a Slight Risk yesterday to a high end Moderate Risk as of this morning.
It's been a sleeper, but it's a grossly underrated setup. Impressive instability, shear and jet dynamics, especially for mid-June.
The main thing that's somewhat lacking is low level shear.

I guess you cant say melon anymore. PC police will getcha
Low level shear is unimpressive (for now), but otherwise, talk about a powder keg...

What is a DVD? Why not just say "grapefruit"? Seriously, who still uses DVD's?

Timmer was on a tornado.
Heck of a waterspout is probably over Pensacola bay.
Needs a tornado warning for the cell behind it as well.
