NWS has issued a Special Weather Statement or “Significant Weather Alert for the following counties:
Walker County until 7:30
Bibb, Chilton, Dallas and Perry until 7:45
And, the same thing for Fayette, Lamar and Pickens County until 8:15 pm.
This usually means strong gusty winds, dangerous lightning but winds not quite enough yo require a Severe Thunderstorm Warning. (58 mph or greater required for that)
Some of the strongest storms in Alabama extended from south of Livingston eastward to Wilcox County.
But they were plenty strong in other areas.
NWS has issued another Severe Thunderstorm Warning for Greene and Hale County in West Central Alabama until 7:30.
And now…just issued a Severe Thunderstorm Warning for Bibb County until 7:45.
Lots of intense thunderstorms over in East Mississippi (in fact a line of them) that we will still have to deal with this evening.
The Severe Thunderstorm Watch continues until 9 pm.
One rain report already in. Brian Peters reports 0.74 in Helena in two episodes. We will try to lasso some more reports as the evening goes on
