A thunderstorm cell over Dallas County, south of Selma is showing signs of rotation and being monitored.

It is moving toward Benton and White Hall.

Storms have intensified in the past few minutes in the counties southwest of Montgomery. Severe weather is possible over South Central Alabama over the next couple of hours, with even the slight chance of a spin up tornado.

Over Northwest Alabama, a line of storms extends from east of Decatur to west of Double Springs to east of Vernon in Lamar County. The heaviest part of this line is over Winston County. It will produce some lightning and strong gusty winds to 40 mph along with very heavy rainfall. There is an outside chance a storm along the line could become severe, but that is not likely.
