Strong potential of damaging winds around Smith Lake right now.

The main line of storms overtook and actually merged with a discrete storm cell. The radar is showing decent rotation. There is good inflow. There is a chance there could be a small vortex there that could produce a spin up tornado as well.

This activity will move toward Arkadelphia, Bremen and The Colony.

Hail is also a possibility. Dime sized hail was reported in Curry a short time ago.

Severe thunderstorm warnings are in effect for Walker and southern Cullman counties.
