Our line of storms is progressing across North and North Central Alabama early on this Sunday morning…
It extends from Decatur to Addison to Carbon Hill to Berry to Gordo and then to Aliceville.
The southern part of the line is much weaker…particularly that portion south of Gordo.
The potent part of the line will produce 40-50 mph winds as it passes. Areas that will see the brunt of this include…
…northern Tuscaloosa County
…much of Walker County
…eastern Winston County
…Cullman County
…Morgan County
…and points eastward
The line should reach downtown Birmingham around 1:30-1:45 a.m., Gadsden around 2:00-2:15 a.m. and Anniston around 3 a.m.
The threat of severe weather is low, although we can’t rule out isolated gusts to severe limits with any bow echoes that develop.
LATE REPORTS
Rayne in Walker County reports very heavy rain and estimated gusts to 40 mph. The Walker Co. portion of the line has been showing a bit of a bow echo and could produce some stronger wind gusts around and above Jasper. Cullman County should be alert also.
Bobby Tiiney in Plantersville reported a 42 mph gust and lots of lightning as the cell in Central Alabama blew past him at 50 mph. Those cells have grown over East central Alabama from Talladega to Ashland to Rockford. Moving NE toward Carrollton GA.
