The good news at 2:00 pm is that NWS Huntsville talked it over with the Storm Prediction Center and has decided to hold off on issuing a Severe Thunderstorm Watch at the moment. Storms are expected to start filling in across the northern parts of the area within the next couple of hours.

We are actually already starting to see some showers popping up over Madison County, but these will not be around long as they are moving off to the northeast at around 35 MPH. These are just light to moderate showers at this point with no lightning.

Back down in Central Alabama, we have a few light showers showing up over the southwestern parts of the area and they are moving to the east-northeast at roughly 30-35 MPH.

SPC has extended the Marginal Risk for severe storms to include all of the eastern 2/3rds of Central Alabama with a Slight Risk continuing for the eastern and northeastern parts of the area. Main threat of damaging winds up to 60 MPH and hail up to quarter size in diameter will be possible in the risk areas through 7:00 pm tonight.

A Marginal Risk of severe storms has been added for Tuesday across the extreme southern and southwestern parts of Central Alabama. Isolated damaging wind gusts up to 60 MPH will be possible with any stronger storm that forms in the risk area on tomorrow.

We’ll keep you posted throughout the day.
