Severe T-Storm Warning for DeKalb, Jackson Co. Until 5:45PM

| May 2, 2025 @ 5:29 pm

Severe thunderstorms continue to push across northeastern Alabama, and a warning is now in effect until 5:45 PM for eastern Jackson County and northeastern DeKalb County.

As of 5:26 PM, radar showed a line of storms extending from just northwest of Trenton to southeast of Ider to near Powell, moving quickly east at 50 miles per hour. These storms are capable of producing wind gusts up to 60 miles per hour and hail up to the size of quarters.

Areas likely to be impacted include Bridgeport, Mentone, Long Island, Higdon, Sulpher Springs, Valley Head, Ider, Sylvania, Henagar, and Hammondville. Reports out of Jackson County already indicate downed trees and powerlines, so this line of storms is doing damage.

If you’re in the path, get to shelter immediately—an interior room on the lowest floor of a sturdy building. Avoid windows and do not wait until you see the weather. These storms are moving fast and packing a punch.
