It goes until 615 p.m.

It covers the southeastern part of the county along and east of I-65, but south of Clanton.

The storm is near Verbena…moving south at about 5 mph.

Look out for damaging winds, torrential rains and deadly lightning. We have already had a person struck today near Hamilton. It could also have some hail to the size of nickels.

Storms are intensifying over western Jefferson County, west of the City of Birmingham. Most ofthe western half of the county is getting good rainfall now from west of Fultondale over to Gorgas in Walker County then back to west of Sylvan Springs. Gernal motion is south at about 5-10 mph.
