Regroup…an Update

The explosive development of our line of low topped supercell thunderstorms this afternoon was truly amazing.

The storms were triggered by a dryline or cold front that was running into some moderately unstable air. The instability was caused when relatively moist (dewpoints in lower 60s) was overspread by cooler air aloft.

The storms went from nothing to a solid line of storms with tornado warnings in just about an hour.

Here is what’s going on…

…Tornado warning for southeastern Jackson and DeKalb Counties…most dangerous part of storm is between Sylvania, Rainsville and Fort Payne.

…Severe thunderstorm warning for Talladega, NW Clay, extreme SW Cleburne and southern Calhoun. Strong storm near Talladega may contain hail.

Another hail core is passing south of Ohatchee. Other hail cores southeast of Rainbow City and North of Hokes Bluff.

A tornado watch continues ahead of this line of storms into Georgia.
