  1. Looks like the tornado significantly weakened or lifted before hitting Wilsonville.
  2. A large concern with this setup is the potential for wedge tornadoes overnight in a region notorious for after-dark tornado outbreaks. As the evening wanes and the nocturnal LLJ ramps up, this setup is screaming danger in the 0-1 km layer over Alabama. Textbook long/looping hodographs, shear vectors with a large magnitude component normal to the front, and extremely low LCL heights. Not what you want to see at any time, let alone 12-4 am. These rain wrapped wedges may be hard to make out during the day, let alone at night. Nobody should attempt to confirm these. Was going to post this last night, I'll post it now that some skeptics have showed up before the nocturnal LLJ has fully ramped up.
  3. Impressive supercell cycling, going from one intense circulation to the next (which was really two circulations). Glad to hear it was in a rural area, hopefully nobody got hurt. 28969709-d90d-444c-98d3-5b01b0fc1226.mp4
  4. Strong tornado? With those wind profiles? Yeah, good luck. They're a lot worse than the forecasted wind profiles. Less aircraft observations looks like it definitely had an impact on forecasting this event.
  5. Circulation to the south now also has TDS.
  6. Confirmed TDS on couplet east of Jackson
  7. A little bit earlier south of Augusta, GA. Circulation has broadened since then.
  8. Rain-wrapped tornadoes at 4:30 am, not ideal.
  9. It can be quite tricky to get warnings out in time with all these brief spin up tornadoes in a QLCS. Not uncommon to put the wording for possible tornado into the severe thunderstorm warning, which is what I believe they did here.
