Three lines of showers across Alabama tonight…
…One over eastern sections from NE Talladega County down through Clay, eastern Coosa, Elmore and Montgomery Counties. It is moving east while individual cells move NE at over 50 mph.
…The main activity extends from western Cullman County, down through central Jefferson County, Central Shelby County, western Chilton County and back into eastern Perry County. A severe thunderstorm warning continues for another few minutes until 11:30 p.m. for much of Jefferson County. The activity over Jefferson County was responsible for significant wind damage over West Alabama, especially around Demopolis around 9:30. This could be tornado damage, despite the fact that the cell responsible was less than 15,000 feet high!
…A thin line of showers is situated along the cold front. It extends from Franklin and Marion Counties, down through Fayette County, back into Pickens, Greene and Sumter Counties. Temperatures will drop sharply behind this line falling some 25 degrees in less than four hours. It will be quite a rude awakening after our warm conditions of the past week.
No watches are in effect, but a wind advisory does continue through tomorrow morning. Winds will occasionally gust as high as 50 mph overnight, even outside the stronger cells.
