Early Evening Look at Cindy

A little difficult to pick out her exact center but based on radar loops, she is in the center of the state...maybe over Chilton County.

Moving NE.

She will continue NE tonight passing south and east of the Birmingham area. Then she will continue across North Georgia in Western North Carolina.

Her baggage also includes loads of tropical moisture. This does not bode well for the Appalachians. Serious flooding can occur when all of that ultra moist air tries to rise over the mountains.

A FEW LATE ALABAMA NOTES:

.....Several Tornado Warnings issued this afternoon and this evening, mainly in East-Central Alabama

.....The NWS confirms an F1 tornado near Prattville in Autauga County

.....At 1:30 p.m., a tornado touched down 5 miles north of Autaugaville in Autauga County. The NWS has already done a storm survey on that one. The path length was only one-quarter of a mile and the width a mere 20 to 30 yards. These small spin-off tornadoes form so quickly and only stay on the ground for a very brief period making it very difficult to warn for them.

.....A report from a 33/40 viewer in Pell City: "We have trees down in our subdivision in Pell City. Large trees have been snapped. Haven't been able to check the damage yet."

.....Later tonight on future posts, we will try to assemble a more comprehensive list of Cindy rainfall amounts so far.
