They're lining up, but these will stay north of birmingham. Stuff is starting to fire immediately west of the city that need to be watched.
Birmingham environment is quite volatile based on the 00z/7pm sounding. Good instability and very good wind shear
Today goes to show just how rare it is to get a day like 4/27/11. While it's far from over, today was a lot messier than I thought. Still likely got a handful of tornadoes + the obvious significant hail, but the storm interactions earlier likely prevented a bigger threat. At least long-track tornado threat.
Ya they getting hammered. Dad is about 15 min south, mom 15 min north of there.ohachtee was hit hard during apr 27 outbreak
I’ve read countless break downs of that day. The two things I do every year is read about the super outbreak and re watch the wire. One thing I’ve learned is that Mets and chasers with years and years of experience struggle to even put into words the insanity of that day. Today seems like the Spc was right about the moderate risk, everything was roatating in N AL and on the Tn boarder. It luckily so far doesn’t seem like it was as bad as it could have been. And it seems pretty much all the tornadoes where in he moderate and the enhanced, slight areas were more just strong storms at least the ones I’ve seen
The April 27 outbreak is what got me back into meteorology. I'm constantly reading about it, watching spann's coverage, and reading about those affected.
