We have a long way to go (6-7 hours) but at midnight, the news is good.

No tornado warnings at the moment in AL or MS. The part of the line back in SW MS that will ultimately cross our region is CURRENTLY mostly under severe limits. Hopefully we can keep it that way! https://t.co/w3XsWnVouD

Latest run of the HRRR model shows quite a mess of storms moving across south Alabama and northwest Florida between 2AM and 7AM. There probably will be some form of a squall line, but it may not be a neat, singular line. https://t.co/bDzEYQFKnk
