230pm CDT: Latest Look At the Severe Storms Across Parts of Alabama

| August 17, 2024 @ 2:30 pm

It’s a mess out there! Storms across far Southern Tennessee into Northeast Alabama continue to show signs of isolated damaging wind gust and at times larger hail.  They are backbuilding and training over the same areas so there is a concern for isolated flooding if this continues.

The other storm that has remained intense is further south from south Huntsville to Oden Ridge.

There are several warnings out and I will list the most current under the radar snapshots.
