The National Weather Service in Mobile has issued a Severe Thunderstorm Warning for southwestern Choctaw County and northwestern Washington County in southwestern Alabama, as well as Wayne County and northern Greene County in southeastern Mississippi. This warning is in effect until 10:30 PM CST. At 9:23 PM CST, severe thunderstorms were observed along a line extending from 7 miles northeast of Mill Creek to 4 miles northwest of Clara to 11 miles west of Buckatunna to 9 miles east of Richton, moving east at 30 mph. These storms are capable of producing wind gusts up to 60 mph, which could result in damage to roofs, siding, and trees.

The storm is expected to impact several locations, including State Line, Clara, Fruitdale, Silas, Chatom, Millry, Waynesboro, Tibbie, and Buckatunna. Residents in these areas should remain alert for the possibility of a tornado, as tornadoes can develop quickly from severe thunderstorms.

For protection from the severe thunderstorm, move to an interior room on the lowest floor of a building.

Stay vigilant and monitor weather updates for further developments. Take necessary precautions to ensure your safety.
