Storms moving through West Central Alabama will impact Bibb, Shelby, Chilton and Autuaga Counties over the next couple of hours.

They will be into Bibb County shortly, Shelby County in a little more than an hour, and in a half hour be into Chilton and Autuaga Counties.

Expect intense lightning, strong gusty winds and torrential rains. They could contain some small hail.

The storms do appear to be intensifying slowly.
