We note the highest shear remains over East Alabama…
It looks like the “sweet spot” (best instability, shear, and upward vertical motion) will remain generally east of I-65, and north of I-20, and especially north of U.S. 278. This places the highest probability of severe weather for the rest of the afternoon across Cullman, Blount, Etowah, Cherokee, DeKalb, Morgan, Madison, and Jackson counties. I know that Blount, Etowah, and Cherokee are not in the tornado watch, but tornadoes don’t know to start or stop at county lines!
Expect some development on the radar within the next 30 minutes…
