Showers and some thunderstorms continue to spread into NW Alabama from Mississippi. The showers extended generally from Fayette and Winston County northward to the Florence-Tuscumbia-Muscle Shoals-Moulton-Decatur area.
Strongest thunderstorms were over the two most NW Counties in Alabama, Colbert and Lauderdale. Considerable lightning in those, but overall, slowly decreasing.
A Severe Thunderstorm Watch still in existence over NE Mississippi may be canceled before the expiration time.
We have no confirmed reports of damage in Mississippi overnight. However there were a number of hail reports from Arkansas in connection with this family of thunderstorms. Most of it was 3/4th of an inch in diameter. However, 1.75 inch diameter hail was reported in the middle of the night at Arkadelphia and Daisy, Ark.
ALABAMA SEVERE WEATHER
The NWS has most of the state under a slight risk today. May be later this morning and this afternoon before we see much. Even then, does not appear to be a major event.
SATURDAY
A better chance of severe weather across the state Saturday.
