Hard to believe that only about a week ago we were dealing with some tremendous cold along with winter weather. And today, we are looking at the potential for severe thunderstorms with damaging wind and possibly isolated tornadoes. Our environment continues to show signs of priming the pump for severe weather with these warm temperatures as well as dew points running in the lower 60s across most of Central Alabama. And the south to southeast flow of air ahead of the approaching front is likely to keep increasing low level moisture into the evening hours.
