Today’s weather event is well underway with multiple warnings issued across the SouthEast. Development is expected to continue throughout the day and into the evening.
The Day One outlook has the entire state of Alabama catagorized as HIGH RISK for severe weather as evidenced by the graphic. The current storms are well ahead of the front, meaning that the “Big Show” is still several hours away. At the time of this writing, there are 11 Severe Thunderstorm warnings, 7 Tornado Warnings, and 1 Flash Flood warning.
Spotters have identified several funnel clouds and at least two tornados on the ground in Mississippi and Central Alabama. Schools in North Central Alabama are closing, most around noon today. I will continue to monitor this system and update as the main threat approaches.
Thanks, Acral.
We visited the homebound sick, cutting visits short today and are back home safe for now. What was wierd was that we have not gotten the thunderstorms or even rain they had predicted for all day today. That surprised us. All the school kids are home in this area. We are battening (sp?) down the hatches now. Thanks for your caring about all of us.
