You have a warning…with Bibb, Chilton, Hale, Jefferson and Blount Counties until 3:15.
But the worst part of the bow echo is from just west of Hueytown down to West Blocton. It will affect much of Shelby County and southern Jefferson Counties with damaging winds during the next 45 minutes.
Some places in the path include…Alabaster, Pelham, Helena, Bessemer, Hueytown, Midfield, Hoover, Vestavia, Homewood, Mountain Brook and Irondale.
I tshould pass near or just south of downtown Birmingham and the Airport.
Get ready now damaging winds to 70 mph or higher. There is also the possibility of small tornadoes. Large hail is also a threat.
Go through your tornado safety plan now if you are in the path of these storms.
