The National Weather Service in Birmingham has canceled the Severe Thunderstorm Watch for Blount, Fayette, Lamar, and Walker counties. However, the watch remains in effect for a large portion of central and eastern Alabama.
The watch has also been extended until 9:00 p.m. for the following counties: Autauga, Bibb, Calhoun, Cherokee, Chilton, Clay, Cleburne, Coosa, Dallas, Elmore, Etowah, Greene, Hale, Jefferson, Marengo, Perry, Pickens, Randolph, Shelby, St. Clair, Sumter, Talladega, Tallapoosa, and Tuscaloosa. Storms in these areas still carry the potential for damaging winds and hail as they continue pushing eastward.
