Thunderstorms are moving east out of Mississippi into West Alabama much as they have the past two mornings.
They are moving southeast into Lamar, Greene, Pickens and Sumter Counties. A lone storm over SW Tuscaloosa County weakened as it moved into northern Hale County.
The strongest storms were over Monroe County MS, heading for Lamar and Pickens Counties in Alabama. The storms that were previously severe over Oktibbeha County MS weakened a bit over Noxubee County, but were building now over southern Pickens and nothern Sumter Counties. They will pack quite a punch with lots of lightning and thunder as well as heavy rain as they approach I-59, passing south of Carrollton and toward Eutaw.
More storms will develop across the area today ahead of an approachign upper trough. With cold air aloft, hail will be a factor today. Damagaing winds will be a problem, and the lightning component will be quite strong again. Keep an eye to the sky today and take shelter if you hear thunder or see threatening skies developing near you.
