Active Weather Continues Through Tomorrow Morning
RADAR CHECK: Scattered strong to severe thunderstorms continue across the northern half of Alabama this afternoon… some producing hail and strong winds. There is a tornado watch for far North Alabama until 9p CT, but for most of the state, there is no tornado threat before midnight.
LATE TONIGHT: A line of storms will enter the northwest corner of the state a little after midnight, and will move to the southeast during the pre-dawn hours Sunday. These storms could also be strong to severe, with potential for hail, strong winds, and an isolated tornado or two.
The storms should reach I-59 (Tuscaloosa/Birmingham/Gadsden) by 6-7 a.m. tomorrow, and will be along a line from Roanoke to Montgomery to Jackson by 10-11 a.m.
Be sure you are in a position to hear severe weather warnings if they are needed… as usual a NOAA Weather Radio is the best option, along with your phone. And, please understand severe thunderstorm warnings are important as well. By definition, a severe thunderstorm produces either 58 mph winds, or hail 1″ or larger in diameter.
