Approaching 6 p.m. and Storms are Approaching West Alabama, Others Ongoing Elsewhere Across State
Showers continue across parts of Alabama as we head into the evening hours, with a little lightning and thunder from Winston County over to Blount County.
But more storms are poised to move out of eastern Mississippi and into western Alabama, and those storms have severe thunderstorm warnings on them.
One cluster is approaching Columbus MS and will move into Lamar and Pickens Counties within the next 30-45 minutes.
The other larger mass of storms is near Laurel MS and will be approaching Meridian within the hour. It will affect Sumter and Choctaw Counties within 90 minutes. These storms will reach the Tuscaloosa area by 8:30 or so, and will still be strong. By 9:30, they will reach I-65 and should be weakening.
60 mph wind gusts will be possible with the stronger storms.
