A PDS WATCH (Particularly Dangerous Situation)
The Storm Prediction Center has issued a new Tornado Watch until 7:00 p.m. CDT. It is a PDS Watch meaning Particularily Dangerous Situation. This Tornado Watch covers a large part of North Alabama. The Tornado Watch includes these counties until 7:00 p.m.:
Cullman
Limestone
Madison
DeKalb
Jackson
Marshall
Colbert
Franklin
Lauderdale
Lawrence
Blount
Walker
Marion

Although the Tornado Watch does not officially include Jefferson or Tuscaloosa Counties at this time, it comes very close. Thunderstorms will be developing south and eastward as the afternoon goes on. The atmosphere is still very unstable and conducive to storm development.
