Big Storms Moving Across West & Southwestern Parts Of Central Alabama

We have plenty of stronger storms moving eastward across the west and southwestern parts of Central Alabama as we approach 2:30 PM on this warm and muggy Monday afternoon. Several Significant Weather Advisories have been issued for storms over portions of Tuscaloosa, Pickens, Fayette and Lamar counties, along with parts of Perry County, and parts of Bibb County.

Gusty winds up to 40 MPH and some small hail could be possible with these storms, along with heavy rain and dangerous cloud-to-ground lightning. There is also the possibility of some localized flooding issues in the poor drainage areas with these storms.

All of the shower and storm activity is moving to the east around 20 MPH, which is slightly better than what we were seeing last night when storms were either holding station or moving less than 10 MPH.

Another strong storm is located over parts of Autauga, Lowndes, and Dallas counties that just had a Significant Weather Advisory put on it as well.

If you are in the path of any of these storms, please move indoors immediately as soon as you hear thunder. If you can hear thunder, you are close enough to the parent storm to be struck by lightning.

I’ll continue to have updates through the afternoon and evening.
