The biggest storm of the day so far has been in the Montgomery area, right now a Tornado Warning is in effect for metro Montgomery. A tornado was reported around 2:42 at Hope Hull in Montgomery County. Elmore and Macon Counties are now under tornado warnings as this strong storm is now moving on to the east. Golfball to baseball-sized hail has been reported in the eastern end of Montgomery!
In Central Alabama, the radar is active but there is no severe weather as of now. Brian Peters is in Walker County right now in Storm Chaser 33/40, and he reports some sunshine 6 miles east of Jasper on US 78. That won't last long though! We will be in touch with Brian periodically as he gives us some reports from within the developing cells over North Central Alabama.
For the rest of the day, I still see the highest-risk area south of I-20 and east of I-65. That is the "highest" risk, but everone east of a line from Haleyville to Jasper to Tuscaloosa to Demopolis should be aware that a Tornado Watch is in effect until 5:00 PM, and the threat of severe weather is there for at least the afternoon hours, and it could last even after sunset tonight.
More to come...
