…No Central Alabama counties under tornado watch number 129!
The watch has been canceled for Barbour, Pike and Russell Counties.
Thank goodness that we weather caused relatively few problems in the Southeast today. Thanks for paying attention to the weather and being great ambassadors in your networks. We have the most savvy weather audience in the country and it pays off on severe weather days.
It feels really refreshing outside. There are a few light showers rotating through north Alabama, but they are fairly inconsequential. Enjoy the rest of your evening and watch out for the breezy conditions through tomorrow.
And don’t forget about the chances of frost Saturday morning.
Three counties left in the tornado watch, that is.
If you live in Lee, Macon or Bullock Counties, you can go to sleep. The severe weather threat is over for you.
If you live in Russell, Barbour or Pike Counties, you have a little ways to go as the watch continues for you. And a little secret, the threat is over for you as well Pike. The line of storms is out of your county.
It will be out of Russell in 15 minutes (by 10:45) and out of Barbour by 11 p.m.
Enjoy the refreshing air when it gets there!
