The latest update from the Storm Prediction Center now has much of North/Central Alabama in a Slight Risk of severe storms, mainly north of a line from Greensboro to Thorsby to Roanoke. The rest of Central Alabama is defined in a Marginal Risk.

No change in the threats or timing with the exception that the probabilities are just a little higher in the locations that have just been added to the slight risk.

Here are some damage photos from Spann’s Twitter Feed:
