The Storm Prediction Center combined with both NWS offices in Huntsville and Birmingham have issued a TORNADO WATCH effective immediately until 1 am Thursday morning for much of North/Central Alabama.

North Alabama counties included in the watch:
Colbert, Cullman, DeKalb, Franklin, Jackson, Lauderdale, Lawrence, Limestone, Madison, Marshall, Morgan.

Central Alabama counties included in the watch:

From SPC:

SUMMARY… A fast-moving line of storms will continue quickly east-northeastward this evening into Middle TN and northern/central Alabama. Very strong low-level/deep-layer winds will support the potential for tornadoes and widespread damaging winds as additional moistening occurs into the region.

REMEMBER… A Tornado Watch means conditions are favorable for tornadoes and severe thunderstorms in and close to the watch area. Persons in these areas should be on the lookout for threatening weather conditions and listen for later statements and possible warnings.
