I arrived at the weather office and Brian Peters was babysitting the radar watching the showers across Alabama (hardly any lightning now)… BMX issued a tornado warning for Perry and Dallas counties, which are in the Montgomery DMA (that is why we did not go on the air with wall to wall coverage; we do that only for Birmingham DMA counties).
Quite frankly, the couplet that prompted that warning fell apart quickly, and there is no severe weather in Alabama right now.
We have a case this afternoon with high helicity (0 to 1 km helicity values are over 400 m2/s2 over Central Alabama now), but very limited instability.
I still don’t expect a significant severe weather problem tonight; the dynamics will shift well to the north of Alabama this evening. But, we will keep a close eye on the radar.
