Unlike just a few days ago when storms ran AHEAD of schedule, storms tonight are running behind schedule.

The flip side to this is that, so far, storms in southeast Mississippi are “behaving” more than storms to the north. Hopefully that trend continues! https://t.co/YMJQMj6cxY

If you look closely at the end of the loop, we’re seeing the beginnings of small showers across the region. Some warm air aloft in the atmosphere may help to prohibit supercell development, but we need to watch how these small showers develop out ahead of the main line of storms. https://t.co/5U8C52LvJU

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
