Severe Severe Weather 2/3-2/4

Was looking at this one several days ago, pretty textbook winter setup w/ sharp cold front and nice warm sector. Should be noted (saw a tweet can't find it again) that best hodos and best CAPE don't really overlap. Also, heres a sounding from Jackson.View attachment 112559

Pretty good overlap in the Tuscaloosa area. Really have to watch trends to see just how far north moisture even makes it as well. HRRRSE_con_1kmhel_006.pngHRRRSE_con_3kmhel_006.pngHRRRSE_con_sbcape_007.png
 
Nice supercell near Tuscaloosa. Probably not surface based though. Probably riding north of the moisture surge. Screenshot_20220203-110518.png

Could be a watch soon
 
This should be the prime area here soon. Cape and shear a steadily increasing Screenshot_20220203-112119-122.png
 
HSV AFD had a 0938 update, best threat is south of the HSV AFD but need to stay alert

Sufficient instability with the impressive wind profiles and sickle-
shaped hodographs make the severe potential difficult to disregard.
While not the most favorable setup for severe weather, damaging wind
gusts will be possible in stronger bands of rainfall as the front
pushes through the area this afternoon and evening. A tornado or two
can also not be ruled out, although this is a low threat. The best
timing estimate is 2 PM to 7 PM for severe risk, but the flooding
risk will persist throughout the day. I again want to emphasize that
flooding is the primary threat to life today, and people should
exercise caution if driving in low lying or flood prone areas.

One thing I always notice in severe setups there's always a rotating storm that produces at the very north portion of instability where high shear is. That would end up being near Huntsville; in north Alabama. Not saying it will happen but I have seen it a lot. Where there's very low cape but enough that the shear will wisp up and produce a spin up.

Agree, reminds me of the last significant severe setup where there was the tornado up in KY on the rain cooled boundary where the parameters were maximizing further south.
 
Some of you other Alabama doods will have to fill in lol. Im starting to finish my work day so I ain't going to be able to follow everything ?
 
Might have a possible tornado near Hattiesburg. Tight rotation on radar
 
Keep a close eye on this cell. Think this one will be a producer down the line. Screenshot_20220203-124000.pngScreenshot_20220203-123953.png
 
BRO where's the tornado warning?! Very strong tight rotation. Tornado may be immenentScreenshot_20220203-124058.png
 
Tornado warning for the storm I just mentioned! Sumter county under warning
 
This will take the classic path. Or should atleast of the typical tornado storms that affect tuscoolsa county although this looks like it'll pass south of Tuscaloosa.Screenshot_20220203-125300.png
 
Basically in dead man's land with radar. But a tds is now on radar Screenshot_20220203-131030.pngScreenshot_20220203-131024.png
 
Supposedly reports of possible power flashes in York Alabama? Nws confirmed on the ground
 
Tornado warning extended further for the Sumter county.
 
Rotation Southwest of the current tornado warned storm moving near the state line Screenshot_20220203-132219.png
 
I think that storm is about to go off. It looks like a beast now. Shear is increasing sheesh
