Alabama Weather Update

So far, so good...thunderstorms are not very intense now...and no warnings are in effect at this time.

Thunderstorms are moving across Central Alabama this afternoon.

Storms are over the following locations...
...Large cluster over SW Jefferson, SE Tuscaloosa and northern Bibb Counties. This cluster is moving northeast at around 35-40 mph.
...Over southeastern Tusacaloosa County...from east of the city of Tuscaloosa down through the southeastern part of the county.
...Over Hale County...the strongest strom in the state is just south of Greensboro...it is moving northeast and will clip NW Perry County, passing NW of Marion. This storm is approaching severe limits and a warning may be required.

The storms contain lightning, torrential rains, gusty winds and possibly some small hail. The best chance for hail will be around Hueytown.

The airmass over West Alabama now has become rain cooled and relatively stable.

A disturbance moving northeastward out of Louisiana could fire storms later tonight and severe weather is possible later.

A severe thunderstorm watch continues for much of Alabama until 9 p.m.

Pea sized hail in Greystone, but nothing any larger. VERY heavy rainfall and intense lightning. Feels pretty good outside with the rain calming down some...

Looks like two big storms over on the East side of the State. Apparently the atmosphere still has some punch left in it.
