Thread: Severe Weather Conditions

Radar showing large blocks of severe weather to the west. Be safe down there. Way to early for springtime severe weather outbreaks.

So far it's all been well north and west of the GS/OBch area.
We just had a quick round of tshowers in Mobile but even that has already moved away...

The wind is much higher today (15-20 knots) and the waves have already built high enough to dingy the water.

I just drove back from Montgomery, at times there was less than 50' visibility and 50mph winds, it was scary at times.

Worst stuff here was past by time I got to Mobile but DI, Fort Morgan, GS & OB are still getting pounded.

The squall line temporarily stalled along the coast, 'training' a series of Severe Tstorm Warnings in that vicinity...


Ft Morgan had NW winds gusting to 39 knots when it came in.
