Thunderstorms across Northeast and North Central Alabama are beginning to form into a long line this afternoon…scattered wind damage will result…

Thunderstorms are now beginning to intensify over western sections of North Central Alabama from Fayette into Walker County. One very strong storm was in the Cordova area. This activity will eventually affect extreme northern Jefferson County in the M orris, Kimberly and Warrior areas.

A line of strong storms was moving ESE from Jackson through Marshall and then across much of Blount County. This activity will push into DeKalb and St. Clair Counties. The warning for Blount County has expired.

Big thunderstorms are back over eastern Mississippi also, in the Aberdeen area. They will eventually affect Marion, Lamar and fayette Counties again.

In Jefferson County, strong storms are approaching the Forestdale, Adamsville and Graysville areas along US-78. More stroms extend from Lipscomb to Bluff Park to near Hoover. Look for these storms to intensify as they encounter an approaching outflow boundary from the earlier Talladega County storm.

In Shelby County, a strong storm has fired near Chelsea. This storm will move toward Harpersville and Vincent.

A severe thunderstorm watch is in effect until 8 p.m. for northern and eastern portions of the area.
