this is the one I'm worried about personally and will be paying close attention to if it makes its way upstream

Mesoscale Discussion 0055

Areas affected...central AL
Concerning...Tornado Watch 18...
Valid 121900Z - 122000Z
The severe weather threat for Tornado Watch 18 continues.
SUMMARY...A strong to intense tornado (~EF3) is likely ongoing
across central AL and after tornado demise, a wind-damage risk will
likely continue into east-central AL.
DISCUSSION...KBMX radar imagery shows an intense low-level
mesocyclone moving through an adequately moist/moderately buoyant
airmass across central AL. SPC data analytics indicates a
strong/intense tornado is likely ongoing across Autauga County, AL.
The area VAD/s show large hodographs with 300 m2/s2 0-0.5 km
effective SRH. The strong shear/buoyancy will likely aid in
sustaining the supercell after eventual tornado demise once the
squall line overtakes the supercell. Nonetheless, a significant
wind-damage threat and some tornado risk will likely continue into
eastern AL through the mid afternoon.

Another suspicious cell west of Macon, GA. Watch those cells out in front in GA.

That is not a good sign for what news is about to come out of Selma!
Very powerful couplet. 
Good grief dude. Eventually that ofb pushing out to its south has to choke it out
Huge debris ball!

That shows a cap still in place around 850mb but obviously there is a break in containment.

This storm structure
May eat my words. Inflow rapidly strengthening again.

For perspective
Have to wonder if at least for a short period of the outflow pushing to its south is helping maintain since it looks to be accelerating the SSE flow just in front of the ofb which is feeding indy the inflow

Somewhat concerned for the ATL metro core as well.
Damaging wind threat looks to be ramping up for ATL Metro with that line heading toward Carrollton
