Storms Have Really Blossomed Over Northwest and Central Alabama Along Warm Front

We are really seeing the effects of a powerful low-level jet this morning, which Is transporting warm, moist Gulf air rapidly northward and destabilizing the atmosphere across Alabama and Mississippi. Look at the strength of this thing:

Storms are widespread across much of the area with lots of lightning, heavy rain, and some small hail.

Some of the strongest are over western sections of the Birmingham Metro area. Others are near Reform in Pickens County and near Columbus MS about to move into northern Lamar County.

Everything is moving northeast at about 50 mph.

None of them are severe at this time, but one or two of them could become severe as the front continues to lift northward.
