A strong line of storms continues to move into the western parts of Central Alabama with a bowing segment moving through the western portions of Tuscaloosa and Hale counties. Winds in that part of the line could reach as high as 70 MPH. The line is moving to the east at 45 MPH.

For the next several hours, the threat of damaging winds and a couple of brief, spin-up tornadoes will continue for the central and southwestern parts of Central Alabama. The line is expected to move into the Birmingham metropolitan area by 7:00 pm.

The tornado watch is about to be extended to the east and possibly to the north within the next few minutes.
