It goes until 10 am CST today and it includes a number of Alabama counties. Check at the end of this report the name of the counties.
At3:40 am, the strongest storms in West Alabama were approaching Fayette and Tuscaloosa County. Actually, the line of thunderstorms that we are dealing with is rather disorganized. The line extends from the west edge of Winston County southwestward to west of Tuscaloosa (sometimes called “T-town) to Meridian and then to Hattiesburg in South Mississippi. At this hour, the only formal warnings ineffect is two Tornado Warnings in South Mississippi. No warnings so far in Alabama.
Looks like the Morning Drive time (we used to call that rush hour but it seems like all hours are rush, rush, rush now) will be rather busy for the Birmingham Metro area.
This Tornado Watch is nowhere near as serious as the major outbreak of several months ago. But we all know that if an EF-0 strikes your home it is very serious.
Here is a list of Alabama counties included in the Tornado Watch until 10 am, CST:
