Severe Thunderstorm Watch Issued Until 9:00 AM; Replaces Expired Tornado Watch
The Storm Prediction Center, in conjunction with NWS Birmingham and NWS Huntsville, has issued a Severe Thunderstorm Watch until 9:00 AM Saturday for these counties in North & Central Alabama: Calhoun, Chambers, Cherokee, Clay, Cleburne, DeKalb, Etowah, Jackson, Lee, Madison, Marshall, and Randolph.
This replaces the Tornado Watch that was issued on Friday evening that expired at 2:00 Saturday.
The main focus from this watch is from a line of storms in Southern Kentucky and Eastern Tennessee, which has the possibility to push southward into Georgia, and brush up against the extreme eastern counties and almost ride down the Alabama/Georgia state line early this morning. Main threat will be damaging winds.
