Well... officially in the high risk now. Not that it matters as I knew we were in bad shape. First time ever in one.
edit: I’m in Irondale, AL just east of Birmingham visiting family.

30% hatched tornado risk has been expanded accordingly

I have a gut feeling central alabama is going to be the vocal point for tornadoes come the first round. Im afraid the kidney beans will just starting popping. ?

Alabama seems to be the tornado hot spot the last 10 to 15 years.

Oops ?
That's a large high risk area the SPC put up.

wow just had a clap of thunder that was the most intense i've heard in a long time...definitely a lot of energy in the atmosphere today.
Gadsden AL and points east and north still decently wedged in the 50s
Instability will not be a problem today that is for sure.
'Tornado Alley' seems like it has been shifting south and east more and more over the last 10-15 years. It's actually been really interesting to watch.
Yikes these 12z observed soundings 
Jeeez those goalposts. Wow
Is this in AL?

If that isn't a loaded gun sounding, I don't know what is...
Jackson MS and Baton Rouge I believe

Jeeez things look rough this morning. The crapvection definitely isn’t hanging around and these soundings are screaming bad news.
I've seen very few models indicating supercellular development pre-QLCS in MS as they do in AL. What is the actual storm mode expectation for MS? Broken line of supes?
Yeah about as classic of a loaded gun sounding as you can get

All modes from what I gather.

Happy to see the wedge race out of the way. All we need is a few hrs to charge up the atmosphere. Lets go!

I read somewhere else the most recent models are showing some stronger 'capping' in place but still may not be enough to hold the storms back. I'm not very good at reading hodos is anyone else seeing this and what are your thoughts?

That clearing in MS?

I'd almost think more capping might be bad in this scenario honestly. Leads to more "loaded guns" and explosive storm initiation
Not liking what I’m seeing this morning
Mid 60s around Tuscaloosa, breaking 60 around Bham

Just hoping it stays cloudy here most of the day tomorrow so we don't get the clearing we usually need for big storms. It doesn't look good on the models, though. Have to hope they are off, or it's more of an isolated event and we get lucky and misses most folks.

Imo, I'm surprised they moved the enhanced threat so far west in NC.
Hrrr doesn’t look like much tomorrow
I'm not. This front is taking it's time. I would be willing to bet it slows down even more, which is normally the opposite directions these things play out.
HRRR UH swaths
