The powerful bow echo…like a tornado…will produce winds over 70 mph and potential tornadoes…

Will impact areas from Montevallo to Jemison, Thorsby and Clanton….up to Columbiana…

Thousands of trees down in Perry and Marengo Counties…

Take cover as this dangerous storm line approaches you. Treat it just like a tornado…

There is a tornado warning for southern Tuscaloosa and northern Bibb County…for the apex of the bow…where tornadoes are likely…
