Severe Thunderstorm Watch Extreme NW Alabama

The Storm Prediction Center has included Lauderdale County in the northwestern corner of Alabama in a new severe thunderstorm watch that goes until 1 a.m. CDT.

Thunderstorm activity is increasing over western Tennessee in association with a slow moving cold front. The activity may tend to increase during the evening hours as an upper level trough approaches from the west.

Go out side and look to the northeast and see an impressive thunderstorm over northwestern Georgia. This storm is 150 miles northeast of Birmingham and is clearly visible. The top of the storm is nearly 50,000 feet in the atmosphere.

It is in the other severe thunderstorm watch that is in effect until 8 p.m. CDT for five counties in Northeast Alabama.

I saw that this evening and wondered where it actually was.

Cool looking here. Probably not so cool under it. :)
