OVERVIEW
Showers and storms developed overnight along a frontal system that lies from western Tennessee through Northeast Alabama early this morning. They are being triggered by an upper level disturbance pushing southeastward out of Tennessee. The storms extend from the Huntsville area south southeastward through Blount and Etowah Counties into Calhoun and St. Clair Counties and on into Clay and Randolph Counties.
The main storms, which formed in northwestern Tennessee late last evening extend from Vinemont to west and north of Scottsboro. They will affect areas from Blountsville to Guntersville to Geraldine and Valley in the next hour.
Everything is moving southeast at 20 mph.
