Overview:

The severe storm train remains throttled up! As of the 5 am
hour on Friday, a complex of severe storms is approaching from Jackson, MS. If this complex holds together, it will affect the southwest portion of Central Alabama. The couple models that have somewhat modeled this activity correctly suggest it will begin to weaken near or shortly after crossing the MS/AL state line; however, based on the environment and organization of the line, we have added a severe threat for this morning.

Additional opportunities for severe storms will exist through Sunday night =- and locally heavy rain could result in instances of flooding.
