Brief Update as of 6:45 pm; More Counties Removed from the Severe Thunderstorm Watches

NWS Birmingham has canceled the Severe Thunderstorm Watch for Bullock, Lee, Macon, Montgomery, Russell counties, and for Bibb, Calhoun, Cherokee, Chilton, Etowah, Shelby, St. Clair, and Talladega counties. The severe weather threat has come to an end for these counties.

NWS Birmingham continues the Severe Thunderstorm Watches until 9:00 pm for Pike and Barber counties, along with Chambers, Clay, Cleburne, Coosa, Randolph, and Tallapoosa counties.

Much of the western half of North/Central Alabama is dry with only a couple of light showers falling over Fayette, Winfield, and Double Springs. The main action are two clusters of storms that are making their way across the extreme eastern and southeastern parts of the area and moving into Georgia. Large hail continue to be the main threats with these storms, but isolated damaging winds gusts are also possible. A brief tornado cannot be completely ruled out, but odds for one occurring are highly unlikely at this point.
