Significant severe weather threat from the afternoon of 12/25 through early AM 12/26.

  • Time - Beginning as early as 2PM 12/25 through 3AM 12/26
  • Threats - Tornadoes, damaging straight line winds, and large hail
  • Location - Central AL, greatest threat southwest of a line connecting T-town and Montgomery

Some of you may or may not know that I'm a ham radio nerd, and that as part of that I've gotten interested in storm spotting. I got my Skywarn spotter cert a little over a year ago, and since then I've started keeping tabs on the NWS - BMX page and the AL weather blog. The multimedia briefing is a good at-a-glance way to get updates on what's coming.

Hopefully this will go by without much ruckus, but it is something that has been getting a lot of attention from the NWS, more than the usual, "there's a thunderstorm coming."

Hope everyone has a Merry Christmas, Festivus, Kwanzaa, or had a Shag Sameach Chanukah a couple weeks ago. :bounce:
 
As of now I'll be right behind all the bad weather on my way home.

Hope everything is still as I left it when I get home and that everyone is safe.

I'll be in it tomorrow heading back from Mobile...
 
Hope you guys down in Mobile made it through ok. Looks like a tornado just blew through downtown.
 
Drove to Thomasville today and it didn't rain very much. Sitting here now, 5:45 PM, and it's a toad strangler. Think I'll find a hole to crawl into.
 
on the phone with my sister... they were in a building that got hit, Mobile Infirmary!
They are safe, just shaken up. They were visiting with family on my brother-in-law's side.
I'm back in bham... hunkering down.
