Do you think that the SPC could upgrade the outlook to a Moderate?

Cancelled Shelby/Talladega CO TORW.

Should we prepare for more severe storms to fire over E MS & W AL? Or are we good?

TORE Lay Lake, Wilsonville in Shelby about to go into Talladega Co.

That 1 spun up super fast. I barely had time to take shelter. There's damage uncomfortably close to me in NE Bham.

Tornado warning for Tuscaloosa CO canceled, south storm taking some of north's power.

Where is our warm front? We havent seen any sun in a while over NE Bham but the weather is noticeably warmer than last Wednesday.

Wow! I cant imagine Spann's predicament right now. His own home was hit yet he still has hours left before the outbreak winds down.

Lolol that's Spann's way of saying/identifying he's 1 of us! He definitely doesn't intend to "degrade" fellow weather enthusiasts! Very few meteorologists in the US puts forth as much effort as James Spann to personally interact with his followers/fans/viewers. I will say the same about Denis Phillips who happens to work at Tampa Bay's ABC affiliate. Phillips also wears trademark suspenders since being the 1st met to make the call in 2004 that Charley would make the sharp turn to the right, taking it in over Port Charlotte/Punta Gorda instead of coming in as a Cat 4 into Tampa Bay proper. Edit to add about Spann's almost unprecedented efforts to engage with his viewers.

JP Dice on WBRC 6 isn't sold on this event, at least not yet. He has given all 4 cats, Rain/Wind/Hail/Tornado, a medium risk. But he said that this could change should later models trend in favor of more supercells & less mess.

Spann generally says a #/5 level threat. Moderate doesn't sound scary but a 4/5 level gets the public's attention.

So far nothing from last week ranked above an EF2. We had a significant AL outbreak with total twisters though.

Now the AL tornado total from last Wed sits at 24, 6th all time for AL. That's more twisters than the 08 April 1998 High Risk, but obviously without any EF3+ (maybe 1 might still come around) tornadoes like the F5 that hit Pleasant Grove 23 years ago.

Christmas 2012 in AL was another battle between the storms & a warm front. North of the front featured severe thunderstorms. But in the warm sector closer to the coast tornadoes developed & did move extensive damage. I will say this though. The stars almost aligned yesterday to give us an event probably somewhere between Easter 2020 & 27 April 2011. The spring is still young & the Gulf has more to warm before the Dixie Alley outbreak risks subside. I have a feeling we will have something like what was possible yesterday in the next couple of months. I of course could be wrong but my gut tells me to remain prepared.

Didn't we exceed these thresholds last Easter? Edit: Should the SPC create a 6th/"Extreme Risk" level for those rare days? I would argue that the 45% contour signifies this. We had this 27 April 2011 & it verified. But we also had it yesterday & it didn't. Edit 2: I also think that the NHC should consider adding a Category 6 for hurricanes 185 or higher. But they haven't done so.

Most of the AL damage did, although along the south & east edges.

I'll say underperformed, probably bust is a bit too far for those who got injured & have damaged homes.

This extreme is better than what happened in Nashville last March. Also the January Fultondale, AL EF-3 was from a marginal to maybe slight risk day. I would rather over than under prepare. Edit Parts of AL have seen some significant damage today though.

If anything, the Flash Flood threat from this system is probably larger than they had anticipated though. I won't say a full bust. I know that troll is all over himself right now though. He went to another site to troll after getting booted here.

24 April 2010 came back from the dead though

TWC is looking for words right now too. Easter 2020 should've been a high risk though. Edit.....we had injuries & damage. A Moderate risk was appropriate for this outbreak though.

The Nashville tornadoes werent expected either last March either.

Spann said the line is coming though faster than planned. My fear is that we will get walloped in a couple of weeks when not expecting it to make up for this.

I hope so. I havent seen the sun in hours. Bham 68/64 right now.
