One of the largest storms on radar at the moment was centered near Gadsden. A Severe Thunderstorm Warning continues until 6:45 for Etowah County, including Southside, Rainbow City, Gadsden and Attalla. The storm was centered near Attalla and moving south at 20 mph.
At 6:20 pm, there were no thunderstorms within a 40-mile radius of Birmingham. There are at least 8 strong storms over the extreme eastern counties, but they are moving in such a way that they should not affect the Birmingham area.
We are watching a little outflow boundary over St. Clair County caused by cold air flowing out of the Etowah County storm. That could cause a separate thunderstorm to form over St. Clair County. We will watch that.
Meanwhile, the strong storms over the extreme eastern counties should slowly diminish after sunset.
