Sun is shining and the thermometer is reading close to 80 degrees in NW Alabama. Beautiful day minus the wind. Hopefully that warm air doesn't spell trouble for later.

Damage earlier across Memphis. Not sure, but possibly straight line winds. Large trees down, some on homes, power lines down with some poles snapped in half, even a ground-mount metal basketball goal post bent in half. Last report between 5 & 6 thousand still without power. Some of the damage is in the areas of Perkins, Mendenhall, Walnut Grove & Chickasaw. Not sure of the timing of this wind event.

So far the cap has held which aligned with the more recent higher resolution models.
There's been some eroding of it in a few places but so far the cap has kept a lid on storm development.

Just went from 70 to 47 and wind from zero to 30 in about 10 minutes here in Fort Worth getting down to 24 tonight. Cant believe we flirted with 80 all week long.

Wouldn?t have mattered if the EPA had allowed the natural gas plants to run at full capacity before the outages. The Texas ERCOT asked for an emergency waiver when they saw the turbines going out and asked the Federal Government for a temporary emergency waiver to juice up their horrible clean burning natural gas plants. EPA rule for Texas says something along the lines of ?if you increase hydrocarbon energy production you also have to increase so called renewable energy by an equal amount.?
They were not allowed to ramp up to keep the grid up and it went down.
And speaking of renewable energy, the process of the earth making oil/nat gas is the original renewable energy. Been going on for millions of years and will continue as long as there is organic matter living on earth, particularly the oceans. Anyone interested should dig into it. We haven?t even tapped into a small portion of what?s been made, let alone the oil and gas continuously being made by the earth. By definition of renewable, that fits it to a T.

I agree with what you said, but, of course, Al Gore and his pocketbook would not.

Gotcha. I live in Amory and work in the Aberdeen area so I'm very familiar with that area. I was thinking, if I'm not mistaken, that you lived in the Philadelphia/Nehshoba County area but I may be wrong.

Severe threat starting to wind down. Front is now pushing through the state. And before you ask, I have no idea why things busted. The cap broke so storms should have immediately gone severe but they just didn't. They tried. I'll at least give them that. Did see a couple wall clouds but that was it. But between not seeing any really good storms and my live stream laying a hot steaming corn filled deuce on the mattress, this was a pretty forgettable chase.

Well I was going to add something but then I would be breaking my selfimposed rule of no politics. But you are on the correct track!

There was some damage in the Huntsville metro, but not sure how bad. Also not sure if it was tornado or straight line winds, but there was a tornado warning at the time. My neighborhood siren didn't sound, and we were at the center of the warning.
