The complex of storms in Northwest Alabama is moving east, or a little south of east at 30-35 mph.
It is 7 miles west northwest of Downtown Birmingham. Extrapolating that motion, it could affect the northern half of the Birmingham Metro between 630 and 7.
It should reach western Jefferson County around 6.
Jasper residents can expect the storms 5:30-5:45. There is another cell in Walker County near Nauvoo.
Tuscaloosa: the bulk of the storms may stay well to your north, but storms developing along the bottom flank could clip you before 7 p.m. It remains to be see whether they will be strong or severe. A significant weather advisory was just issued for Pickens County. Those storms just don’t look at impressive yet.
Heads up folks in Winston County: that severe storm in Marion County that’s producing the big hail is moving your way. Look out for a warning shortly.
