A line of rain with embedded thunderstorms currently stretches roughly from Arab to Tuscaloosa to Livingston. While gusty winds are being experienced in portions of Sumter and Greene counties, no severe weather is occurring in Central Alabama.
Storms have begun to organize during the past hour over the central parts of Mississippi. The amount of low-level moisture, and whether that richer moisture reaches the I-20 corridor, will likely prove critical for the tornado risk over the next 1-2 hours.

The Storm Prediction Center has upgraded the south and southwestern parts of the area to a Slight Risk for severe storms today.

Strong to severe storms are possible across much of Central Alabama today. Damaging winds and hail are the primary threats, but we can’t rule out a couple of isolated tornadoes, so keep an eye on the weather later today.
