a very strong storm over Pickens County southeast of Carrollton is about to enter Tuscaloosa County. It is moving east. It will pass near the cities of Coker, Tuscaloosa and Northport.
The NWS has issued a Significant Weather Alert for Tuscaloosa County. This is stopping just short of a severe thunderstorm warning and means torrential, blinding rains, deadly lightning and wind gusts to about 50 mph are possible.
The strom is fairly organized and could become severe at any time so be inside safe shelter as it approaches and be alert in case warnings are issued.
