The guys at the Storm Prediction Center just posted a mesoscale discussion concerning a possible watch for the west-central parts of Alabama, possibly including the Birmingham metropolitan area. Supercells that are currently located in Mississippi will be moving into the western parts of Alabama within the next few hours, and if they sustain their strength, all modes of severe weather will be possible including a few tornadoes. Probability of a tornado watch being issued as of now is at 40%, but SPC will keep an eye on the situation and issue the watch if necessary.
