The Friday afternoon web video is on the server:
http://beta.abc3340.com/weather/video.hrb
Still a rather complex forecast, but the general idea remains the same for the next 24 hours.
Severe thunderstorms with the possibility of tornadoes should form to the west over the next few hours, in the general area between Shreveport and Tupelo. A few rotating storms could enter northwest Alabama late tonight, and SPC has a moderate risk out for that part of Alabama generally north of a line from Cullman to Jasper and to Reform. The moderate risk also includes parts of north Mississippi, north Louisiana, and southeast Arkansas.
***New tornado watch being issued now for much of north and central Mississippi through 11:00 p.m.**
The storms to the west should evolve into a long squall line after midnight, which will move through Alabama during the pre-dawn hours tomorrow. The main threat from the line will be damaging straight line winds.
The 12Z model set is not quite as impressive with the various severe weather parameters; with limited instability and wind fields that are not as strong. However, there is no doubt we have the potential for a fairly nasty squall line between 2:00 and 9:00 a.m.
The sky should become partly sunny tomorrow afternoon, and Sunday will be rain-free.
Way behind the power curve here this afternoon... will turn the blogging over to J.B. Elliott and the rest of the gang for a while...
Enjoyed the kids at Chalkville Elementary today... a great Friday afternoon crowd!
