Alabama 811 | Know What's Below.

Quick Radar Check at 6 a.m.

| April 14, 2018 @ 6:01 am

Our line of thunderstorms moved across Mississippi overnight and is about 40 miles west of the Northwest Corner of Alabama early this morning.

The NWS in Memphis has several severe thunderstorm warnings in effect along the line, but there have been hardly any severe weather reports. The only ones noted in the past couple of hours are a tree down near Oxford and a report of a tree down in Union County, where New Albany is located.

It is moving eastward at 35 mph and will reach the western parts of Marion, Franklin, Colbert, and Lauderdale just before 7 a.m.

There is a tornado warning along a kink in the line approaching Boonevile in northeastern Mississippi. This echo will approach Colbert and Lauderdale Counties.

A couple of small storm cells have formed ahead of the main line over Fulton County, Mississippi, west of Franklin County, Alabama and will affect Red Bay shortly with some lightning.

The tornado watch in Mississippi was canceled for Jackson’s counties, but extended until until 8 a.m. locally for the northeastern counties of Mississippi.

The severe weather threat across Alabama will ramp up later today, with an enhanced risk from the SPC (level 3 out of 5) over the weather half of Alabama.

James is preparing an update that will be out in minutes on the situation for later today and Brian will have the morning Weather Xtreme video and post shortly as well.

We will have constant updates throughout the day and night.
