The NWS Birmingham has issued a Severe Thunderstorm Warning for Fayette, Lamar, Marion and Pickens Counties till 8:15 PM CDT.
Tornado warnings continue for Itawamba County in Northeast Mississippi at the head end of that bow echo moving into Northwest Alabama…the potential for tornadoes will be good as the head moves into Marion County, Alabama. Expect more warnings.
The Northeast Mississippi stuff will affect areas from Marion and Lamar down into Pickens County. It will also have some big hail associated with it.
The intense line of storms from Decatur to Jasper shows some weak signs of rotation in Walker County. No warnings on this line, but hail is likely as well as strong wind gusts. Can’t rule out an isolated tornado. Showers continue ahead of this line of storms also. The main part of the line will clip the northern sections of the Birmingham metro area.
A tornado watch continues until 2 a.m. for much of the area.
