Lots of showers across Alabama early on this Thursday morning. But not real heavy and no severe thunderstorms at the moment–as of 2 am.
A lot of heavy showers and some thunderstorms across the North Gulf of Mexico trying to move onshore into Coastal Alabama and NW Florida.
But our main attention now shifts westward where a long line of intense thunderstorms extends from near St. Louis southward into West Tennessee and all the way down the state of Mississippi. A number of warnings with that. The north-south line is about half way across Mississippi and moving eastward.
Will be watching it like a hawk!
A Tornado Watch is in effect for West Tennessee and virtually the entire state of Mississippi.The watch extends east to the Alabama border.
Bottom line, our weather woes are not over by any means. Besides, there are lingering flood problems from yesterday. Shelby County especially hard hit by flooding.
Will be on duty the rest of the night with updates as needed. A 12-cup pot of coffee now brewing.
Stay safe and plan now for extra minutes for the morning rush hour!
