Looking upstream for some of the worst weather over the next hour across Alabama…

NORTHWEST ALABAMA…SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WARNING FOR LAMAR AND MARION COUNTIES…
Line of intense storms approaching Northwest Alabama from Franklin through Marion and Lamar Counties. These storms are very menacing on radar from Fulton down to Aberdeen. KCBM just reported a peak wind gust of 32 mph. Look for severe thunderstorm warnings with this line. Could produce damaging winds. There could be a tornado because of all the spin in the atmosphere.

NEWTON COUNTY MS
Very dangerous looking rotation near thw town of Newton. This is about 85 miles SW of Carrollton in Pickens Co., Alabama. It is moving NE at 50 mph. So you get the idea that this cell could affect WEst Alabama’s Pickens County around 10:30 p.m.

IN CENTRAL MISSISSIPPI
Likely tornado south of Brandon, moving toward Pelahatchie. DIstinct couplet on velocity product very close to the KDGX radar, meaning rotation very close to ground. If this holds together it could affect West Alabama’s Pickens, or northern Greene and Sumter Counties.

TORNADO WATCH TIL 3 A.M. FOR NORTHWEST ALABAMA…includes Bibb, Dallas, Fayette, Greene, Hale, Lamar, Marengo, Marion, Perry, Pickens, Sumter, Tuscaloosa, Walker and Winston Counties…
