A severe thunderstorm watch continues until midnight for the following counties in East Alabama...Calhoun... Chambers... Cherokee... Clay... Cleburne... Coosa... Randolph... Talladega and Tallapoosa Counties.
And until 9 p.m. for Chilton... DeKalb... Etowah... Jackson... and Marshall Counties.
But counties are being dropped faster than we can post them. Just figure that if the line has passed your location, you are in the clear.
Our line of storms extends from eastern Cherokee County to west of Piedmont to Anniston to east of Sylacauga to southeast of Clanton on into South Central Alabama. It will still be associated with strong gusty winds. Behind the line, winds will drop back to 10-20 mph and gradually diminish overnight.
A 100 mile wide band of rain continues behind the line of storms. The bank side of the precipitation area extends from west of Huntsville to west of Jasper to west of Tuscaloosa. Ahead of the line, temperatures are in the 70s, but fall 15 degrees in quick order behind it.
Skies will become partly cloudy overnight. There might be a little fog in areas that clear sufficiently to allow good radiational cooling. Temperatures will remain in the 50s overnight.
Look for a great day tomorrow, with partly cloudy skies and temperatures warming well through the 70s to near 80 degrees in some locations.
Late damage reports...
Cherokee County reported spotty tree damage from non thunderstorm winds ahead of the line.
Several reports of downed trees and large limbs across Cleburne County.
A person in a house was injured by a falling tree on Dicky Springs Road near Bessemer around 5:45 p.m.
And until 9 p.m. for Chilton... DeKalb... Etowah... Jackson... and Marshall Counties.
