Severe Thunderstorm Watch to our West Tonight
Click image to enlarge.
It’s the time of the year for northwesterly flow over Alabama, and that is the case this evening.
These northwesterly flow events are notorious for spitting thunderstorm complexes at us as disturbances round the top of the ridge to our west and slide down its front side.
That is happening this evening, as thunderstorms have developed over southern Missouri, intensified and are marching southeastward.
A severe thunderstorm watch was issued just before 6:30 p.m. for parts of Arkansas, western Tennessee and northern Mississippi.
There have been reports of damaging winds and flash flooding with the storms, but nothing serious so far.
They will fall apart well before reaching Alabama tonight, dying a slow death over northern Mississippi.
