Severe Thunderstorm Warnings remain in effect for Etowah County until 4:15 and Cullman County until 4:15 also. The main threat from these storms will be large hail. Marble-sized hail was reported on Straight Mountain (Blount/St. Clair County Line) by Curtis Atkinson, a meteorologist from Blount County who is home visiting his family. That storm is now moving north and west of Gadsden and still may be producing hail.
The Severe Thunderstorm in Cullman County is west of downtown Cullman, and our Brian Peters is in place to intercept this cell on Exit 310 from I-65 (the Cracker Barrell exit). There have not been any reports of hail or damaging winds thus far, but we will hear from Brian soon if anything happens. That storm should stay just northwest of Cullman.
A Tornado Watch remains in effect for the eastern 3/4 of the state until 5:00 PM, but the greatest threat for tornadoes remains over the southern half of the state. Severe thunderstorms with heavy rain and especially large hail, though will affect parts of the Birmingham Metro area.
No new reports of damage from Montgomery yet. We hope that it stays that way!
