Tornado Emergency for Alexander City, AL

   Mesoscale Discussion 0055

   NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK

   0100 PM CST Thu Jan 12 2023

   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.

Here in the heart of the enhanced risk.   On the Dallas/Kennesaw area of northwest Atlanta. 

The sun has been out across North Georgia and West Georgia. Parts of the line is coming through Anniston/Oxford and Talladega at the moment have signs of rotation.  It can use the primed environment across the region
