The radar

The Birmingham radar (KBMX), 140 km from the middle of the area, began a volume at 02:15 UTC, the scan nearest the moment this went out.

Did it verify

Not verified. The Iowa Environmental Mesonet's Cow found no qualifying storm report inside this tornado warning while it was in force. That is not proof nothing happened: reports are thin where few people live.

Cow counts a report within 15 km of the polygon while the warning was in force: a tornado for a tornado warning; hail of 1 inch or more, a gust of 58 mph or more or wind damage for a severe thunderstorm warning; a flash flood report for a flash flood warning.

.MESOSCALE UPDATE FOR SEVERE WEATHER THREAT...
Issued at 115 PM CST TUE NOV 29 2022

GOES-East satellite imagery currently depicts increasing cloud
cover behind an ~850 mb warm front, generally the boundary where
scattered showers are now spreading northeast into Central
Alabama. Western portions of the forecast area are situated closer
to more meaningful MUCAPE values, 500-1,000 J/kg per
mesoanalysis, where more robust convection is ongoing. A pair of
elevated supercells moved through here recently, amidst an
increased shear environment, where eff. bulk shear of 50-60 kts
is analyzed in northwest Alabama. These storms will pose mainly a
hail threat into the afternoon hours as elevated instability
spreads into areas west of I-65. Any additional storms in this
region (north of surface-based instability) will also pose mainly
a hail threat this afternoon. Areas east of I-65 are still
situated in a recovering and warming boundary layer, but winds
remain east-southeasterly thus far, limiting meaningful moisture
increases. Gadsden has warmed ~40 degrees since their morning low
of 31 degrees.

We continue to monitor other observations as less warm sector
contamination has led to temperatures trending above forecast
values. Temperatures are already in the mid to upper 70s across
southern Alabama and southern Mississippi where dewpoints have
also increased. This has fostered increasing SBCAPE despite SCT to
BKN stratus on satellite imagery. It is currently 79/72 in
Hattiesburg MS, and 75/68 in Jackson MS. However, clusters of
showers and storms are currently developing in far south Alabama.
This activity may interrupt the warm sector for portions of our
area later in the afternoon.

40/Sizemore

&&

.SHORT TERM...
(This evening through Wednesday)
Issued at 115 PM CST TUE NOV 29 2022

Closer to the Lower Mississippi Valley, a warm sector is
currently establishing and is expected to spread north/northeast
as the parent low pressure system quickly advances toward the
Upper Midwest. This forecast trend will support the more favorable
surface-based warm sector could move into our area later this
afternoon and into the evening hours. Latest HREF suggests
500-1,000 J/kg SBCAPE, potentially 1,500 J/kg given modest mid-
level lapse rates (6.5 to 7.0 C/km) for areas west of I-65, as
dewpoints increase to the mid to upper 60s. These values generally
decline with eastward extent where dewpoints remain in the low
60s or less through tonight.

Given abundant kinematics (50-60+ kts bulk shear) strong to
severe thunderstorms are likely to impact Central Alabama as
ongoing and/or developing clusters of supercells move from
Mississippi into western Alabama. These storms will pose all
modes of severe weather including convective wind gusts 60-70+
mph, large hail, and tornadoes given progged 200-400 0-1 km SRH.
This threat will impact areas west and northwest this evening
first, generally spreading to the east and southeast into the
overnight hours. These storms will also pose a threat of heavy
rainfall if they become oriented in a manner that training can
occur. Rainfall totals approaching 4" will be possible, if so.
Flash flooding potential has certainly increased for areas along
and north of I-20 given latest forecast expectations.

Severe weather (and any flash flooding concerns) will end as the
cold front moves through the area later tonight bringing cold air
advection and a change to brisk northwesterly winds.

40/Sizemore

&&

.LONG TERM...
(Wednesday night through next Monday)
Issued at 201 PM CST TUE NOV 29 2022

A much colder air mass will overspread Central Alabama Wednesday
night through Friday. Lows Thursday morning will be in the upper
20s north to lower 30s south. A combination of very dry air at the
low levels Thursday afternoon and light winds Thursday night will
lead to good radiational cooling conditions, and lowered minimum
temperatures a few degrees Friday morning. Moderating temperatures
Friday and Saturday as the low level flow becomes south-southwest
ahead of an approaching cold front. Showers will develop ahead of
the front across north Alabama Friday night and into Saturday.
The front will stall out over north Alabama on Sunday and will
maintain small rain chances along and north of I-20. The front
will lift northward Sunday night and Monday as a warm front, with
most of the rain staying north of central Alabama. Overall,
temperatures will be above normal over the weekend and into early
next week, especially for areas south of I-20.

Mainly MVFR cigs outside and in TSRA tonight. Could get an

outside of TSRA and MVFR-IFR in storms. Winds will be gusty
outside of storms and will shift to the SW tonight and NW into
Wed morning behind the front. Conditions should go VFR behind the
storms/front roughly as early as 13z in the W and 17z in the SE.

A strong storm system is expected to bring wetting rains with
