12/20/08 NOW - AL.

I think the storm speeds are a little bit overstated on these moving over N. AL.
107 Kts. - 123 mph ??

That's an automated product, do not rely on those numbers to plan your chase. If you know some radar basics and some mathematics, you can plot the location of the storm over two scans and determine the speed that way. GR software does that for you with just a few clicks..

There could be some gusty winds in that line, but I wouldn't expect it to be much of a severe weather event in any case.

That line is passing through my neck of the woods as I type this and the thick fog we've been having the past week has proven to be more exciting. Maybe a 15mph cool outflow was the worse of it.

UPDATE: Ok, no sooner than I post that and we get a two minute downpour and estimated wind gusts of about 30 knots.

Front just passed through here. Those radar estimates are always wrong on storms motion, IMO. The line was moving AOA 30kts. Winds were gusty and rain was brief....now time for a cool down.
