At this hour, showers and storms are concentrated primarily over Northeast Alabama from around Cullman northeast to near Fort Payne then southeast to near Heflin, and also over Southeast Alabama from about Prattville up to north of Lafayette to near Phenix City. Lots of lightning around Phenix City.
There was a brief severe thunderstorm warning for Lee County a short time ago.
Lots of folks up worrying tonight about when the storms will hit them. Don’t worry. Arm yourself with information and a plan. Know where you will go when the storms come, and keep an eye on them.
the storms will start to develop later this morning, then could be a problem at any point into this evening, before a cold front pushes a line of strong storms through the area. WE can’t be more specific until we see how they develop.
For now, there will be a slight chance of an isolated storm becoming severe through about 9 a.m., with a good chance that there will be severe weather between 9 a.m. and noon. Then there will be a high probability between noon and 9-10 p.m. or so. That’s simply an educated guess at this time.
