The Storm Prediction Center says that a weather watch is possibly going to be needed for the Tennessee Valley of North Alabama as the broken line of storms moves into that area.
Wind shear is very high, probably too high for the small amount of instability present, so storms are having a hard time getting established. But any that do hold together could quickly become severe with hih wind, hail and even isolated tornadoes.
A severe thunderstorm warning was just issued for one county in Tennessee along the Alabama border.
We are seeing a little development south of Tupelo, but it is still weak. Activity here would push toward Marion County. We are keeping our fingers crossed that areas south of a line from Vernon to Gadsden could escape any bad weather.
