Storms continue over North Central Alabama tonight…
There moving only slowly eastward. One cluster extends from Arley to west of Bremen in eastern Winston and southwestern Cullman County.
Another short line extends from near Hayden in SW Blount County to east of Cleveland to near Altoona in western Etowah County, then northward to south of Albertville in Marshall County.
Brilliant lightning is visible from the Blount County storms at my location in Northeast Jefferson County. That is about 18 air miles away.
Other very strong storms were over Northeast Mississippi, about to enter Northwest Alabama’s Marion, Franklin, Colbert and Lauderdale Counties.
The storms will continue moving eastward over the next hour, accompanied by lightning, very heavy rain and strong gusty winds.
