    Sure but that purple was there in advance April 27. Best meteorologist here in Alabama said he wasn’t expecting an outbreak like that. Hope he’s right.

    Generally. They have 3 churches here in town that open their basement as storm shelters.

    Not necessarily. Just a safer inside location for the homeless/people who live in mobile homes.

    In-laws just left the family Zoom call to head to their shelter. Didn't expect it to start this early up there, going to be a long night for them.

    The local weather hasn’t even interrupted programming here. (Huntsville). They may be reacting a tad early.

    They're still north of the warm front right now. Those storms are elevated and pose no tornado threat

    Good to know, they are the cautious type so they are probably getting in a little early for sure. Theirs is in the garage so its easy to go in and out

    Still appears to be a bit of a cap in the warm sector, which is delaying things. The 18z soundings should hopefully post on SPC's site soon.

    Strong enough to stop anything from developing, or just strong enough to make it worse later?

    There's some weak subsidence right now across the region that's contributing to things. Sinking air plus cap = hard to get storms going

    My completely elementary understanding is that a weak cap in a highly unstable environment could end up with lots of storms competing for the same energy and dampening some potential. A stronger cap could have just a few storms pop up, in which case they stay possibly discrete longer with less storm to storm interference.

    I lived there ‘85-‘90. The city was a good place to live- - - didn’t like the winters though.
