Storm analysis
Very strong storm in Walker County right now, approaching the Warrior River and Jefferson county. This storm shows some rotation, but has a history of very strong straight line winds, so treat it with respect. It has weakened a little in the past 30 minutes.
There is also a gravity wave (small north-south feature) moving 70 mph toward the storm. Research has shown these can sometimes intensify rotation in a storm.
