Lots of Wind Damage Reports

There have been numerous reports of wind damage from the very strong winds across Central Alabama this morning from a wake low that developed behind our ran area overnight.

Here are a few reports:

Trees were also reported down in Brighton, Midfield, Maytown, Irondale and McCalla.

A wind advisory continues until 7 p.m. this evening as a low pressure system tracks just to our northwest and a decent pressure gradient continues to produce brisk winds. But the strongest winds should be over now that the wake low has passed.

Storms will develop later today ahead of a cold front. It appears they will start forming around noon in the I-65 corridor. Instability and shear will be too low for severe storms but we will be watching for any surprises.
