Warning Central

Severe Thunderstorm Warnings are in effect for...

Tuscaloosa and West Central Jefferson Counties until 7:15 p.m.
East Central Greene and extreme East Central Sumter County until 7:15 p.m.
Central and Southern Hale County until 7:30 p.m.

Close to home at 7:00 p.m., a line of strong to severe storms extends from 7 miles west of Oakman in Walker County to 18 miles WSW of Sylvan Springs to near downtown Tuscaloosa. This area of storms is moving ENE at 45 mph. It is producing hail up to nickel size, potentially damaging winds and lots of dangerous lightning.

This activity will move into western Jefferson County shortly and be into western sections of the Birmingham metro area about 7:30-7:45 p.m.

A very dangerous looking storm is about 13 miles west and southwest of Greensboro in Hale County. This storm looks very capable of producing very large hail. There were lots of reports of large hail from Mississiippi as these storms moved through earlier.
