The heaviest activity was over Calhoun and Cleburne Counties, especially north of Edwardsville. Another was on the St. Clair/Talledega County line NE of Vincent.
ACROSS WEST ALABAMA…a line of storms extends from Marion, Fayette and Lamar Counties back into eastern Mississippi. Decent storms from west of Natural Bridge to Winfield and on into Lamar County.
ELSEWHERE…a few showers were forming from south of Bessemer back into Greene and Hale Counties.
Scattered storms will continue to develop through the afternoon hours over Central Alabama. They will feature lots of dangerous lightning, gusty winds and very heavy rain.
Much of Alabama is outlooked for the possibility of severe weather on Sunday as a cold front and disturbance run into our warm and moist airmass. The possibility of damaging winds will increase on Sunday across the area.
