A tornado watch is in effect for a large part of Alabama until 10:00 am…

A line of strong to severe storms is about to enter West Alabama…

Instability values are still marginal, thank goodness, surface based CAPE values are all under 500 j/kg at this moment.

Damage reports from South MS:

JONES COUNTY EMA REPORTED THAT A TRAILER WAS BLOWN OFF ITS BLOCKS, BUT NO INJURIES. THERE WERE ALSO ABOUT 50 – 75 POWER OUTAGES. MANY TREES WERE REPORTED DOWN. (JAN)

SEVERAL TREES DOWN AROUND THE CITY OF HATTIESBURG

Tornado warnings up for a number of counties just across the line… a few tornado warnings will be possible shortly for West Alabama counties. We will go with wall to wall coverage on ABC 33/40 if warnings begin in Alabama…
