SUMMARY…Southward propagation of a squall line has been associated with damaging winds. A new Severe Thunderstorm Watch will be needed soon.
DISCUSSION…Storms have grown upscale within the last several hours across central Alabama. The western half of the convective complex has developed a strong cold pool and has demonstrated bowing characteristics within the last few hours, with strong/damaging winds accompanying these storms. A well heated and deeply moist airmass resides ahead of this complex, which is providing ample buoyancy for sustenance of strong to severe storms, with damaging straight lines remaining the primary concern. As such, a Severe Thunderstorm Watch will be issued downstream of the ongoing line shortly.
