The strongest part of the storm will pass just northwest of downtown through North Birmingham toward Tarrant.

Storms west of these are weakening a bit over western Jefferson County.
Other strong storms are over eastern Alabama from north of Ashland to Oxford to Jacksonville.
Another strong cell is approaching Sylacauga.
Everything is moving northeast.
