Very strong indications of tornado at confluence of Walker, Cullman, Blount Counties…near Empire…approaching Bremen and Arkadelphia. Moving east at 48.

Will cross I-65 and US-31 shortly.

Pass near Blount Springs…north of Hayden…toward Nectar…

BTI now 8.2…new parameter…this is a very high number…

Passing north of Jefferson County…the tornado warning will likely be cancelled for Jefferson County…despite the fact that sirens are sounding.
