Another TOR as the line moves eastward.

That is one long and thin tornado warning...

Is it just me or is the storm mode in Mississippi trying to become more discrete?

For posterity, CAMs have continued to anticipate a continued risk for QLCS tornadoes all the way into the morning.

Looks like some of the clusters are breaking apart.

TOR-warned storm heading towards Basic, MS has had a particularly persistent couplet.

What has me worried: CAPE is increasing over AL, not decreasing. The QLCS is heading into quite a favorable environment, and I wouldn't be surprised for them to start acting up over the next 2 hours or so, just as the majority of us head off to bed (myself included). Please be on y'all's toes tonight!

Of course, right before the storms move into the radar hole between DGX and BMX...

Be safe everyone! Headed to bed myself.

The activity west of Tuscaloosa looks suspect. The HRRR shows trend with better severe parameters and an UH streak in the 06-07z time for the north Birmingham metro. The storm complex progresses into northeast Alabama and northwest Georgia.

Yep, that complex may become a principle troublemaker overnight.

Severe thunderstorm warning for 1inch hail and 60mph winds in west Georgia shortly after midnight in December. Big hail zone and over 70dbz.

This event has been... strange to say the least.

There were a few areas that looked like they could try to rotate in the storms going through Tuscaloosa now (before they got here). I’m in the middle of it now and it’s strong winds and just loud. For now no more rotation. It seems like it’s been getting stronger since passing into Alabama from Mississippi though.

Here’s a livestream from Richard Scott who is an awesome meteorologist who works for the UA news station. If anyone is interested.

Intense cell heading into West Atlanta Metro. Probably got decent hail and strong winds. May get an SVR on it shortly.

There are places in the line that look like they may go tornadic. One near Coaling and another north of Brookwood.

Wouldn't be shocked to see tornado warnings across central AL from this

Possible couplet north of Coaling, AL.
