Quite a cold front! Temperatures are about twenty degrees cooler behind the advancing cold front this morning. Temperatures have plummeted into the 50s in northwest Alabama and across much of Mississippi.
70s out ahead of the front. Storm fuel! https://t.co/k8RPk9oirw

In addition to the main line of storms in west Alabama, the storms in northwest Monroe and northern Mobile counties are producing quite a bit of lightning.
These storms out ahead of the main line remain well below severe limits. https://t.co/z3yoP2VZ5i

NWS Mobile opted to issue a Severe Thunderstorm Warning for parts of NW Washington and southern Choctaw counties in west Alabama till 2:30AM.
Gusty winds up to 60 mph are the main concern with this as the main line of storm moves east. https://t.co/Vmup28DYKl

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
