A marginally unstable airmass and some upper dynamics are conspiring to produce strong storms across North and Central Alabama tonight.
We have been without power in Trussville for 30 minutes. Power is out at Jack Wood Stadium where the state football playof game between Gadsden City and Hewitt is being held. The game has not been called as of yet.
Looking at the radar…
The main line of showers and storms extends from western Marshall County through Cullman Couny into Walker and northern Tuscaloosa Counties, then through Pickens, northern Greene and northern Sumater Counties.
There might be some hail in the cell up around Paint Rock in Northeast Alabama. Certainly a good bit of lightning.
Ahead of the line, stonng storms are along the Blount/St. Clair County line between Oneonta and Ashville. This activity is intensifying and could become severe. It will extend from Ashville to Gadsden, Atalla and Reece City soon. It could contain hail and dangerous lightning.
Another strong cell was crossing I-20 between Pell City and Lincoln. It is intensifying and could produce small hail.
Individual cells are moving northeast quickly. The main line is trudging slowly to the east.
