Really wrapped up now. 
With that structure, it’s about to put down a violent tornado.

LSU-Alexandria might have just taken a direct hit from this tornado.
Should note that I'm going off twitter, I don't know where this school is for sure.
Edit: Just saw a map explaining, it's true.

As I recall, this was always supposed to be an Ark/La/Tex and Oklahoma event and east of there has been questionable at times.
But to be honest I don't think we're going to know on what might happen until we see how the MCS acts. Could be anywhere between nothing to discrete cell issues. Maybe not Atlanta and north, but south.
I would say south MS is probably the most likely place to see more happen and in the morning, but if we clear out with a fair bit of daytime heating all bets might be off.

Based on my amateurish opinion after looking at UH streaks, reflectivity, and STP values, it seems like it did an okay job at highlighting the potential for long-track tornadoes over this area.

Not specifically for this cell. Here's the HRRR and 3K NAM from 6 and 9 hours ago respectively. As you can see there is no storms forecasted where that cell is currently.

Supercell should start to become more elevated in nature reducing the tornado threat, it’s likely almost done doing its destruction

I really hope it's done with its destruction. Unreal

Significant damage reported at LSU's Alexandria campus earlier
I thought the tornado was south of there but clearly something happened

This is the very long range HRRR so take with a huge grain of a salt...

Gulf Coast QLCS look to rob inland areas of moisture transport. Rain shadow effect essentially.

IMO I just don’t think it will be a big deal up here in NC and parts of SC, way more worried about Saturday around here, but heres the HREF
This storm just doesn’t wanna die, it’s been bowing out, damaging wind threat with it

New SPC Day 1
AS THE COLD FRONT ADVANCES, IN CONJUNCTION WITH THE SHORT-WAVE
TROUGHING ALOFT, THIS DESTABILIZATION WILL ALLOW NEW STORM
DEVELOPMENT TO OCCUR BY EARLY AFTERNOON -- FROM EAST-CENTRAL AND
SOUTHEAST MISSISSIPPI EAST INTO WEST-CENTRAL ALABAMA, AND THEN
NORTHWARD ACROSS THE CUMBERLAND PLATEAU INTO KENTUCKY. WITH
STRENGTHENING/VEERING FLOW WITH HEIGHT PROVIDING FAVORABLE SHEAR FOR
SUPERCELLS, POTENTIAL FOR TORNADOES WILL ACCOMPANY THESE STORMS -- A
FEW OF WHICH COULD BE STRONG. LARGE HAIL IS ALSO EXPECTED, ALONG
WITH DAMAGING WINDS.
THE CONVECTION WILL CONTINUE EASTWARD ACROSS ALABAMA, AND EASTERN
PORTIONS OF KENTUCKY AND TENNESSEE THROUGH THE AFTERNOON, AND INTO
GEORGIA. HOWEVER, UNCERTAINTY WITH RESPECT TO DEGREE OF SEVERE RISK
INCREASES WITH EASTWARD EXTENT ACROSS GEORGIA, DUE TO QUESTIONS
REGARDING THE DEGREE OF AIRMASS RECOVERY WHICH WILL HAVE OCCURRED IN
THE WAKE OF EARLIER STORMS -- LIKELY STILL ONGOING OVER NORTHERN
FLORIDA. STILL, IT APPEARS THAT FAIRLY SUBSTANTIAL ALL-HAZARD
SEVERE RISK WILL EXTEND INTO AT LEAST CENTRAL GEORGIA INTO THE
EVENING HOURS, BEFORE RISK BEGINS TO DIMINISH.

Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Birmingham AL
328 AM CDT Thu Apr 23 2020
.SHORT TERM...
/Updated at 0327 AM CDT Thu Apr 23 2020/
Well here we are, the event is upon us and there are still some
uncertainties in place. The good news is that most of the model
solutions have a good handle on the timing through the afternoon.
Provides a little more confidence on the system moving through
and exiting later this evening. Could still see some wrap around
rain and perhaps a thunderstorm through Midnight in the east.
Questions for the forecast that still have not really been
resolved is the severe potential. There is still quite a bit of
concern on how much of the instability can actually be realized
and how far north will the actual potential be. Some of the more
robust and convective enhanced models are placing much of the
south and east in a very high range for CAPE and overall
instability. Other solutions, which have handled the last several
events quite well, continue to keep the best dynamics well in our
southeast through the afternoon.
So let`s take a look at the overall evolution of the pattern. We
are currently seeing round one moving into the area. A few
stronger storms have already impacted far southwestern counties
with additional storms moving in shortly. This first wave will
slide east through the morning and should in our eastern counties
by late morning. Right now we only have elevated storms associated
with the activity as the warm front is still to our sw. Right now
we are concerned with any activity that may move into or develop
near the US 80/ I-85 corridor through the morning for damaging
straight line winds and hail through 10 AM. The chance for a
tornado remains low until the front get closer to the region, so
later this morning.
As this wave moves out, there will be somewhat of a lull in
activity as the warm front continues to lift northward and the
cold front approaches the area. This is where the forecast begins
to get a little a tricky. There should be some clearing in the
southwest and temperatures will try to climb into the upper 70s as
a strong southwesterly wind increases over the area. The problem
here will be how far north will the richest airmass work before
the cold front moves through. That is where the models begin to
differ and thus a very wide range of available CAPE for
instability. At this time the threats will be from Noon to 7 PM
with the front, while the potential increases the further east you
get. The highest potential for severe weather will be generally
along and south of the I-20 corridor through the afternoon. As we
move through the day several meso-scale updates will be done as
the information becomes available and will adjust the timing as
needed.
Once the front works through, we will see the upper level feature
work through across the north. This will generate some lighter
rain into the evening hours across the north. Any precipitation
should be done and out of the area by 4 AM. Lows overnight will
drop into the 50s.

Models look tame this morning. I don’t really see the afternoon “threat” ever materializing

Went from a level 3 to not even a level 1 in about 12 hours
This morning round of rain / embedded storms seems to be progressing fairly quickly. It's already through BHM, with things pretty clear behind it.
