MD 0655 CONCERNING TORNADO WATCH 187... FOR PORTIONS OF CENTRAL/SOUTHERN ALABAMA Mesoscale Discussion 0655 NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 0437 PM CDT Wed May 06 2026 Areas affected...portions of central/southern Alabama Concerning...Tornado Watch 187... Valid 062137Z - 062330Z The severe weather threat for Tornado Watch 187 continues. SUMMARY...Supercells with risk for all hazards to continue across Alabama this evening. DISCUSSION...A supercell continues to mature across south-central Alabama near Montgomery, AL this afternoon, with signs of strengthening rotation. Additional development is ongoing across western Alabama and further north near the cold front in northern Alabama. The environment across Alabama remains favorable for supercells capable of all hazards, including strong tornadoes. Through the evening, 700-850 mb flow will increase enlarging low-level hodographs and promoting favorable conditions for tornadoes particularly across south-central Alabama. As the front moves south and storms cluster, tendency to grow upscale will support an increasing damaging wind threat. ..Thornton.. 05/06/2026 ...Please see www.spc.noaa.gov for graphic product...
