The NWS HUN has issued a severe thunderstorm warning for Colbert County.

The line of storms approaching the county is showing signs of a bow echo, which is indicative of strong winds.

The line segments approaching Franklin, Marion and Lamar Counties will also mean business and will produce 40-50 mph winds, so be alert.

Storms all along the line have had a history of developing signatures that indicate the potential for damaging winds, so treat this weather with respect tonight until the line passes.
