Many thanks to Bill for giving me a break. I enjoyed a super, intense power nap for over two hours. I will be here the rest of the night and into the morning hours. In a way, it feels just like the good ole midnight shift at the NWS which I worked uncountable times.
But, who needs sleep?
Now to get down to business…
Still no formal Severe Thunderstorm or Tornado Watch for any part of Alabama. However, a Tornado Watch continues until 5 am for a big part of Central and South Mississippi. The watch extends over to the Alabama border.
Tornado Warnings were posted for several counties in Mississippi including the cities of jackson, Clinton and Brandon. At least four tornadoes were reported in Louisiana earlier tonight.
There is widespread rain across Alabama at this hour with the heaviest over about the south half of the state. NWS in Mobile continues a Flash Flood Warning for parts of Baldwin and Mobile County including Bay Minette and Mobile. As much as 2 to 4 inches of rain has already occurred in that area and more continues.
To our north, NWS, Huntsville continues a Flash Flood Watch for counties across the Tennessee Valley and extending as far south as Cullman County.
