Much of Central and West Alabama getting a break from storms.
At 6:30, strongest storms were over Extreme Ne and East Central Alabama.
They extended from the Scottsboro-Fort Payne area southward through Cherokee, Calhoun, Cleburne, Clay and Randolph County.
Everything moving east.
Tis only the lull before the much more dangerous storms.
NWS continues a High Risk for almost all of Alabama.
Most dangerous times from about mid-day through the afternoon and possibly into the evening. Possibly a little earlier than noon over on the west side of the state and more like 2 pm for the east side.
Essential that you keep in close touch today. Here is the defination of “High Risk.”
“The HIGH risk area almost always means a major severe weather outbreak is expected, with great coverage of severe weather and enhanced likelihood of extreme severe (i.e., violent tornadoes or extreme convective wind events over a large area). Within a high risk area, expect at least 20 tornadoes with at least 2 of them rated F3+, or an extreme derecho causing 50+ widespread wind events (50+) with numerous higher end wind (80+ mph) and structural damage reports.â€
