A few mini supercells may pose a risk for a tornado through the early afternoon from northeast MS and eventually spreading northeastward into parts of far northwest AL and middle TN.
A few tornadoes remain possible, mainly over parts of Mississippi, Tennessee and southern Kentucky. The risk for a couple of tornadoes should redevelop Saturday afternoon and evening over parts of the mid-Atlantic from Virginia to North Carolina.
Full Moon Bar-B-Que and Ajlo Foods are opening the 16th and largest Full Moon restaurant to date in Alabama. The completely renovated 7,000-square-foot “Best Little Pork House in Alabama” will be hiring 70 employees for the new restaurant.
At 813 AM CDT, Doppler radar indicated heavy rain due to showers and a few thunderstorms. This will cause urban and small stream flooding. Between 0.5 and 1 inch of rain has fallen.
At 1022 AM CDT, Doppler radar indicated heavy rain due to thunderstorms. Minor flooding is ongoing or expected to begin shortly in the advisory area. Between 0.5 and 1 inch of rain has fallen.
Heavy rain and tornadoes are possible today across parts of Alabama as the remnants of Laura pass to the north of our state.
ACTIVE DAY: The remnant circulation of former Hurricane Laura will turn eastward today, passing north of Alabama. We have a very moist, tropical air mass in place this morning, and as the air heats and becomes more unstable this afternoon there is a chance of a few stronger storms in the spiral bands wrapping into the circulation to the north. With fairly high SRH (Storm Relative Helicity) values, a few storms might show some rotation, and there is the risk of a few isolated, brief tornadoes.
