Only a sliver of Central Alabama from Cleburne down through Clay, Randolph, Coosa, Elmore, Tallapoosa, Chambers, Montgomery, Macon, Lee and Russell Counties is still experiencing thunderstorm activity this afternoon.

Storms were building over Elmore and about to move into Tallapoosa County. CAPE values were over 250 j/kg in this area. The further south you go into the southeastward quarter of Alabama, they were over 500 j/kg.

The warning for Cherokee County was canceled short of its expiration time.

The tornado watch continues until 5 p.m. for areas ahead of the line.
