The environment around Birmingham/Tuscaloosa/western AL is still extremely conducive to significant tornadoes
Just came to post that. Big ass meso/BWER (bounded weak echo region - donut hole)....it's far away from radar to see low, but that's a big ass supercell
If you were watching it live when he realized the tornado went through his neighborhood he made an excuse about needing to change his mic battery to step off screen and call his wife.
Mesoscale discussion on that storm SUMMARY...A corridor for a long track intense to potentially violent tornado is expected to maximize through the next hour across central AL. DISCUSSION...An intense tornadic supercell located over Hale County will likely remain unimpeded as it moves to the east-northeast across central AL during the next 1-2 hours. The near-storm environment is currently primed across central AL with 0-1 km SRH at 600 m2/s2 per observed storm motion according to the KBMX VAD. Given the very moist/strongly sheared environment, expecting a long-track intense (EF3+) and potentially violent tornado to continue east-northeast and reach the I-65 corridor over the next hour or so
Birmingham is getting hammered. Another warning the the NE from that big cell that had the broad rotation
