STORM PREDICTION CENTER HAS ELEVATED MUCH OF NORTH/CENTRAL ALABAMA TO A HIGH RISK OF SEVERE WEATHER TODAY

Here is what our friend, Jason Simpson, has to say about it:

High Risk Includes North and Central Alabama

A very long day is getting ready to begin. A line of severe storms is nearing I 55 in Central Mississippi this morning; that will likely be the first round of many for Alabama today. Stay with us throughout the day and into the night as this situation develops. Unfortunately, we cannot pinpoint single communities for storm time arrival, and we also cannot determine if a tornado, wind gust, or large hail will hit a particular area. The forecast is for a broad area of strong to severe storms over the entire state today with the greatest threat for tornadoes, wind, and hail in the HIGH risk area labeled below by the Storm Prediction Center:

AN OUTBREAK OF TORNADOES AND DAMAGING WINDS IS EXPECTED TODAY
THROUGH EVENING OVER PORTIONS OF NRN MS…NRN AL…TN AND KY

This has the potential to out-do the April 15th outbreak, so be alert today. Follow us on Facebook and Twitter if you can’t be near the blog or the TV for ABC 33/40′s coverage.
