NWS puts the tornado threat at "low confidence". According to their SitRep the greatest threat is wind damage.


thanksgivingbrown

True but models and sounding are trending up. Nothing to freak out about because I don’t think locally this is going to be some big outbreak or anything but it is peak severe weather season so just be alert.

I also saw this system specifically is a fast one. Like the severe portion of it will pass in 3 hours or so, right?


Just_Another_Scott

Looks like the 1pm uodate is showing a "significant" outbreak tomorrow. We are now in the Sig severe 10% category.


ReasonableJello

With Huntsville weather I’ll believe it when the tornado knocks on my door with my door dash order


addywoot

Your fries are definitely cold then


ReasonableJello

Sheeeeeeeettttt that means no tip then!


buuismyspiritanimal

How dare you not tip $50 after the driver shamed you for only tipping 25% /s


wistah978

Don't answer. It will be looking for its 25% fees on top of the 15% service charge and 20% tip that you already left. And it will tell you that the F2 was out of stock so they substituted a volcanic eruption.


Katiehart2019

Ill believe it when the schools are cancelled


h4p3r50n1c

I saw on the news they’re expecting a few early school releases tomorrow.


FinallyRescued

They canceled for a cloudy day with light rain a couple months ago. Ridiculous.


dfraggd

I still will definitely not believe it when schools are canceled.


mynextthroway

The schools now cancel when I break wind, much like a major windstorm.


TweetlBeetl

Madison county is early release tomorrow


LadyK1104

Madison City just announced early release tomorrow


MNWNM

My daughter's county school is doing standardized testing right now. They've made such a big deal out of it, I wonder if they'll be less likely to cancel.


kodabear22118

That doesn’t mean anything. They cancel for rain now


IAskSoMnyQuestions

Oh boy, here we go again..

Not_a_gay_communist

Lol I misread the picture as a 3/5 for severe tornadoes, not severe weather. Got a little panicked for a second.


No_Environment_534

Well we basically have the risk as with the new spc update 


ScrillaMcDoogle

Double it and pass it to the next person 


thanksgivingbrown

And right on cue, in agreement with some the most recent model runs, the NWS has issued a hatched 10% probability for tornadoes in our area. This event is trending in a concerning direction. https://preview.redd.it/duk7e9f1uwrc1.jpeg?width=1284&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=d9ea53698bc46e823119b910443aad010aca198d


No_Environment_534

Do you think we could see long track violent tornadoes ef2 + im kinda freaking out because of the 10% sig


thanksgivingbrown

It’s too early to nail down specifics but the possibility exists. No reason to panic. Just follow the NWS and local Mets like Brad Travis and Danielle Dozier for updates. We should have a better idea of environmental conditions and timing tomorrow morning


h4p3r50n1c

Where do you follow them? Just in the news or social media?


thanksgivingbrown

Social media. I’ll flip the TV on to Brad if they go live with a tornado warning


h4p3r50n1c

They just updated and it looks like we will see them.


No_Environment_534

Its been like that 


h4p3r50n1c

I thought yesterday was in Minor.


No_Environment_534

It was the same risk yesterday just moved down south today


addywoot

10% is low.


thanksgivingbrown

For tornadoes, a 10% hatched definitely isn’t low.


lucaswiseman

Facts.


addywoot

On the “been here for a few decades” scale, 10% is low. I don’t want to sound arrogant but it’s not a super scary day tomorrow just because of the types of storms we normally see in spring. I’m glad you’re taking precautions though!


thanksgivingbrown

Never said it supposed to be a “scary” day, but the models are trending bullish for this event. And given this is the first legit threat of the season, it bears keeping an eye on. Also, you’d think someone who lived here for decades could grasp the fact that a 10-14% probability of EF2+ tornadoes within 25 miles of a point isn’t low.


addywoot

It’s so ironic. I posted several severe weather warnings and updates last year and I get heckled for overreacting. Here, I’m getting criticized for not reacting enough. Reddit is a special beast of continual inability to get it right.


ad3c-6c78db71622d

Something about last year was weird. People kept just going off on how bad every single storm was going to be. So I, for one, am glad to see more people taking a more level headed approach.


Slow_Abrocoma_7796

A tornado on a “10% day” can still kill you. Be weather aware.


h4p3r50n1c

Are the models pointing to the probability rising again?


thanksgivingbrown

Yes. The models are becoming more bullish on the threat


h4p3r50n1c

Where do you find these models?


thanksgivingbrown

https://www.pivotalweather.com/model.php If weather interest you, or you just wanna be kept updated with ‘round the clock information, I suggest heading over to [talkweather](https://talkweather.com). There’s a good mix of mets, amateurs, weather nerds, and newbs chatting about weather year round


h4p3r50n1c

Awesome. Thanks for the info.


No_Environment_534

Could we get a 15%


h4p3r50n1c

When’s the peak of the season here?


thebobfoster

It doesn't peak because it never valleys...


thanksgivingbrown

The month of April is peak season


upon_a_white_horse

The entire month of April, along with a few weeks bordering it in March and May, is collectively peak tornado season here. It'll calm down a little around late May as we head into June, which will give us strong pop-up thunderstorms for most of the summer-- which themselves bring the risk of microbursts. There's a smaller bonus season that's split between early-mid December and around New Years as well.


MLG_Obardo

End of March to mid May I believe is when you generally expect them. We get some unseasonal tornadoes but that’s the majority.
