Location of the MCS will determine impact as will how much recovery we get in the next few hours. The CAMs are actually starting to pick up on a storm cluster/MCS in between round one and two. If they occurs it may put more people a little farther north in play.
 
Here in east central Alabama it’s bright sunshine and not a cloud to be seen after this morning’s storm.
 
Wow! This is easily the worst thunderstorm I’ve experienced in many months. Lead by very strong winds, torrential rains with CTG lightning followed quickly. I was trying to get home to beat the storm but too many others had the same idea and thus the traffic was so heavy it delayed me. Fortunately I got home safely but there’s no power. Waiting it out in the car til the rain slackens, which it’s starting to do.

Good thing helicity is low, that cell would be a massive problem for Helena and surrounding areas. Overshooting top is now over 50k feet.

Very impressive meso showing from MXX in the upper levels.
