Our friends in Shelby and Bibb County need to be especially alert.

A severe thunderstorm warning is in effect until 445 pm for northern Bibb and Shelby.

There is a definite possibility of large hail between Woodstock and Maylene.

Storm spotter reported definite rotation in Maylene near the intersection of highway 17 and 44 at 4:06.

A new severe thunderstorm warning is in effect for Bibb County until 5 for the more southern storm approaching Brent and Centreville…very large hail possible.

These storms are still in an environment that favors tornado formation and a tornado watch remains in effect, so go to your tornado plan location when any severe storm approaches.

There is also radar indication of very large hail ten miles west of Brent in Bibb county.
