The atmosphere over Alabama is prime for small spin up tornadoes with lots of instability and spin.

One tornado warning now…for northwestern Tuscaloosa and southern Fayette Counties. Rotation in a cell along US-43 just north of Samantha. Moving NNW toward Fayette.

The storms in Coosa, Shelby and Talladega Counties have weakened and no longer show rotation.

Tornado watch continues til 9 p.m.
