Sunshine south knoxville any clue where the warm front is.

The warm from is draped around Cullman to Gadsden in Alabama, it's near Rome to Alpharetta to Lawrenceville in Northern Georgia at the moment.

So far the name of the game with this event has been heavy freaking rain. MRX pulled the trigger for a FFW for the southern valley. It was needed. After our bout of heavy rain yesterday morning, there were bound to be problems with this much convection interacting with a stalled warm front.

Cullman, AL sits on an elevated feature. One could say the Cullman feature hooks west from the end of Sand Mountain. At any rate elevated gets these locales up into the higher inflow winds.

While we can hypothesize on terrain here, I tell the public it does not matter. Don't assume protection. Don't be terrified by previous tornadoes. Just take all warnings seriously. Be aware but not (too) scared.

Don't waste energy on fear; just get the safe room ready. Usually I prep it with the Watch so the Warning is seamless. Overnights I prep the room before bed. Southern Discomfort!

It’s not a legit outbreak until Cullman is under a warning.

If they ever question terrain, give them video of the Empire, AL EF4 from 4/27/2011. Such a beast.
