Severe Thunderstorm Warning Includes City of Cullman

Strong thunderstorms are dropping rapidly south across the Tennessee Valley and into North Central Alabama late tonight.

They have produced several 50-70 mph wind reports around Huntsville, along with some trees down and power outages.

They appear to be slowly weakening now, but will pack quite a punch for a few more hours well down into Central Alabama.

Watch out for damaging winds, torrential rains of 2 inches or more in a short time and frequent dangerous lightning.
