Dangerous bow echo moving across West Central Alabama this morning with high potential for damaging winds.
The high winds will be impacting Union, Eutaw, Forkland imminently. Folks in Moundville, Greensboro and Newbern can expect the high winds around 11 a.m. or sooner. There will be a gust front ahead of the main line, and it will look quite menacing as well and will have some strong winds. It produced strong winds as it passed through Boligee about 10:20.
