![]() Once again, as this system reaches Eastern Alabama, the conditions for severe weather will become increasingly unfavorable and severe threat will diminish significantly.For the real-life former network, see Wikipedia's page. By my estimates, most of this system should be out of Alabama by midnight CT. This event is clearly way ahead of schedule, as NWS and models all suggested this event would be going on well into the nighttime hours, and here we are with the dryline moving through the most severe area at roughly 9pm CT. Keep your alerts on and make sure you have your plan ready, a lot of these tornado warned storms have dropped tornadoes today, however brief. There is just less of a risk for extremely severe, life-threatening weather. Let me be clear, despite what I said: THERE IS STILL SEVERE WEATHER AND TORNADO RISK FOR ALABAMA. The dryline is already clearly visible moving into Alabama currently, and once you are past that dryline, the event is over for you. In fact, as the system gets closer and closer to Eastern Alabama it will start entering a much more stable airmass, in which case the severe threat will go down considerably. But the storms today have been struggling to keep their rotation, and there is not much reason for me to believe that this will change as the night goes on. There is STILL some potential for tornadoes, especially throughout north/central Alabama, as there is still some strong low-level shear present in the PDS Tornado Watch area. The current state of affairs, in my opinion, is that the tornado threat has lessened significantly over the course of the past 1-2 hours.

However, the most favorable environment for tornadoes as NWS Raleigh points out in their AFD, is a 30 mile radius around US 1. Current trends suggest that you would be impacted by thunderstorms before 4pm. Please refer to NWS Raleigh for local weather information, not people on Reddit.
