Left - It means there is another tornado watch. I would love to explain each of the parameters and terms to you but it would take longer than this event will take to play out.

Chance of hail, high winds and naders. A few may be very strong.

When I spoke of hodos possibly becoming more favorable for severe weather this morning, that is what I meant. A hodograph is a diagram that gives a vectorial visual representation of the movement of a body or a fluid. It is the locus of one end of a variable vector, with the other end fixed. The position of any plotted data on such a diagram is proportional to the velocity of the moving particle. A hodo plot shows the difference in wind shear from one level in the atmosphere to another. Each point represents a speed and direction at a certain level.

Here is a powerpoint on hodos.

What in the hail you talkin bout Geno! Lol

I find weather very fascinating but this stuff is way over my head

Its coming...when it starts to fire up, which should be in the next couple of hours it could get ugly, mostly for north Bama and Tenn.

It's really not all that complicated most of the time. A bunch of stuff to remember at first, but (like anything) it gets easier the longer you mess around with it.

I thought I wanted to be a watherman when I grew up until I found out what kind of pay cut I would have to take. lol.

I love weather stuff too but when yall start talking Greek about it I just go back to looking at the radar. Lol.

sunny and warm in Bibb Co right now.

Ask a question about anything you see and I'll help if I can. The outcome of that greek should be us explaining what each thing is and how they play together, not speaking some secret skwerel language.

Some intense storms starting to fire around Chelsea and a little further south.

Sun is shining in Stevenson.

Shining skrong in Boaz as well.

Let's go fishing

I'm ready by god! Come on

Infrared GOES 16. Watch the cells in central AL grow.

You reckon we'd get to see one of those water naders?

The ones in Southern MS are the ones to watch.

I may use "Water Nader" and make that a lure name.

"So what lure did you use? Wore em slap out with the water nader"

Hats
Stickers
Shirts

Dammit man

From reading some of this thread, I can say with confidence that you aren't the only one it's Greek to. Some of it is actually borderline Greek comedy.

As far as the storms, dry air is winning out to the west and the cells that are materializing are having a hard time building. The air will be more favorable as they move east.

Looks like a big 'ol nader spinning over in se georgia

Yup, its not pulling as much moisture north from the Gulf as anticipated. However, we have a steady northerly warm wind here, so I bet it starts firing up fast north of Montgomery in an hour or so.

That storm by Talladega is starting to spin.
