Alabama Weather Update

Scattered intense thunderstorms continue this evening along a stationary boundary over Tennessee that extends down into the high country of Northeast Alabama and northwestern Georgia.

The storms are moving south.at 15-20 mph. They will reach extreme Northeast Alabama in about two hours.

Wind shear is light tonight over the region, but high levels of instability continue to fuel the storms. The storms seemed to have weakened just a bit over the past hour, but they are still strong enough to trigger several severe thunderstorms from the National Weather Service offices in Nashville and now Huntsville.

Hail will be the greatest threat, but wind damage is possible with the storms.

The storms may be able to maintain themselves as they propagate into North Central Alabama later tonight. We will monitor them.
