2011-04-11 NOW: MS/AL/TN/ARK/KY/WV

[Drew.Gardonia]

Judging by the RUC, and the 0-1km EHI, and the 0-3KM EHI along with CAPE, Middle TN, AL, MS could be fairly active this afternoon into the evening hours. (i'm still new at this forecasting stuff, so forgive me if I'm off still, and feel free to correct, im just going on what I've learned so far).

Radar indicates a large squall line entering WRN TENN starting to push east.

NWS has issued a tornado watch for portions of MS, KY, TN, ARK, and WV.

I suspect most of this will be straight line winds, and hail, but you can never count out a few embedded tornadoes.

Adam Reagan and I are Eastbound on 24 heading to intercept a tornado warned cell in Williamson and Davidson Counties.

caught a brief funnel cloud near I-24 and Bell rd, but too busy driving to grab a picture, lost in it the rain as it started to pour. Unable to pursue it due to slow traffic and torrential rains.

currently back at the apt, and looking at the radar I'm seeing redevelopment back to the west along the Mississippi River/Memphis area, so it looks like another line of storms will push through this evening around midnight or so.
