Updating the timing for the initial line of thunderstorms passing across Central Alabama…
It should reach…
…Hamilton by 3:15 p.m.
…Jasper by 4:15 p.m.
…Cullman by 4:15-4:30 p.m.
…Tuscaloosa between 4:30 and 5 p.m.
…Birmingham between 5 and 5:30 p.m.
…Gadsden between 5:30 and 6 p.m.
…Anniston between 6:30 and 7 p.m.
There is one isolated strong storm near Caledonia MS…it will move near Vernon in Lamar County shortly and on to the Guin/Winfield areas in Marion County. We will have to watch it for the potential to become severe.
HEADS UP
Thunderstorms are growing quite intense over Central Louisiana, about an hour behind the main line. These storms are close to the trough and have the potential to produce damaging winds and big hail. I am afraid we will deal with them about an hour or so behind the first line as it crosses Central Alabama.
