Areas of concern…

1. Hale and Perry County…tornado warning for storm between Greensboro and Newbern. Strong signs of rotation just north of Newbern. Will pass near or just north of Marion.

2. Northwest Alabama hailers…storm east of Hamilton down into northern Lamar County. Warning has been pared down to eastern Marion and western Winston County…moving in general direction of Double Springs. Has weakened a bit, but still capable of golfball sized hail. In the HUN warning area…dangerous storm northeast of Phil Campbell now shows signs of producing a tornado as well as large hail and a tornado warning has been issued for eastern Franklin and Lawrence Counties.

3. Persistent boundary across Central Alabama… from northern Hale, northern Bibb through Shelby and into southern St. Clair and northern Talladega counties. Slowly sagging southward. Storms moving ENE along the boundary.
