Severe Storm Threat Continues to Slowly Push Southeastward Into Central Alabama

| June 11, 2023 @ 9:54 pm

The severe weather threat for Severe Thunderstorm Watch 271 continues.

SUMMARY… A line of thunderstorms will sag southward across the region through midnight, posing a risk of locally damaging wind gusts.

DISCUSSION… Latest radar imagery shows a line of strong to severe storms extending roughly from south of Tupelo MS to south of Huntsville AL. Intensities along the line have been generally sub-severe so far. However, winds aloft are quite strong (3-5km winds of 30-40 knots on GWX and HTX VAD profiles) and several weak bowing structures continue to be observed. Given the moist and moderately unstable air mass that is present ahead of the storms, and the continued signal in evening CAM guidance for a robust squall line, the potential for locally damaging wind gusts will continue into the early morning hours.
