9:30 PM Update

No more "High Risk"
No more "Moderate Risk"
No more even "Slight Risk" ( for most of Alabama)

However, a slight risk continues for the SW part ofAlabama where a Tornado Watch continues until 11 PM, CDT. That watch also affects SE Louisiana and Coastal Mississippi. In Alabama, only Mobile, Baldwin and Washington County included..

As the rain continues to spread into West Alabama, the weather system, overall, weakens.

Not much lightning for North and Central Alabama. The worst lightning continues over SE Mississippi spreading into SW Alabama.

Looks like the weather humans up this way will have "near normal" sleeping hours tonight.

This event has been mostly a hail/flash-flood one in Louisiana and Mississippi. One fatality on Maple Street in the NW part of Jackson late this afternoon when a tree or large limb fell on a man.

A few sample rainfall reports from areas west of Alabama:

4.07 inches in Greenwood, Miss.
2.63 at Greenville, Miss.
1.59 in Jackson
4.01 in Shreveport
3.12 at El Dorado, Ark.

Good evening,

A nice array of thunder and lightning in T-Town but more relaxing than anything, especially after looking at the relatively calm pinpoint dopplar radar.

Have a nice night!

JB

Just curious as to whats up with the SPC this year. Seems as they are missing alot of events this spring. I dont remember this many missed risk outlooks.

The SPC needs to do an internal diagnostic and maybe even have external consultants try to determine what their problem is this year.

Maybe the answer is replacing meteorologists...

I agree.....last thing those people in South Miss was an unwarranted scare.

Had some huge oak trees blown down in Talladega, not sure how rough it got though we slept through it all.
