Thanks to Bill Murray for working the long overnight hours…
Storms over Alabama early this morning remain below severe limits. The stronger storms in the line over West Alabama are producing small hail and gusty winds, and the NWS in Jackson has issued a severe thunderstorm warning for Lowndes County, MS (Columbus).
A tornado watch remains in effect south and east of the squall line until 12:00 noon. The risk is somewhat marginal, but we will watch the radar closely. I am in New Orleans this morning; I will be speaking at an American Meteorological Society conference shortly. Bill Murray, J.B. Elliott, Brian Peters, and Ashley Brand will be watching….
