It's a severe thunderstorm warning and it goes until 445 p.m. It is for the Central Part of the County.
The strongest storms are north and east of the City of Tuscaloosa, although rain and thunder is over much of the county.
In St. Clair County, where a warning is in effect, activity extends from west of Ashville down to Odenville and Branchville. It is moving east and southeast. It is associated with very strong winds. Winds gusted to 55 mph at the Birmingham Airport as this system passed.
Another intense cell is north of Gainesville along the Tombigbee River. Watch out for that storm.
All of these pusle type storms will be able to produce strong gusty winds. It they build up a huge amount of precipitation in the atmosphere, it can crash to Earth and spread out in the form of a powerful microburst. That is waht was happening across the Birmingham matro area.
Otherwise, beneficial rains are occurring over a wide area. We are thankful for them.
