Most of the storms are staying elevated, but here Huntsville is under the gun for damaging winds with this one. Looks like the forecast was spot-on for isolated severe thunderstorms tonight.
3:10 - By the way, the lightning is fierce in these storms, even the ones that are not showing any signs of being severe. I'm staying away from windows and electrical stuff for a while. But if you like to live dangerously, you might prefer to do a little jig on the back porch . . . who am I to judge?
3:28 - These storms are moving really fast. Scottsboro is now under the gun for severe winds. And they also have a part of the line showing severe winds up around Chattanooga, Tennessee, worth a mention.
3:38 - Even as these storms move into places like Albertville, Boaz, Fyffe, Fort Payne, winds of 50 miles per hour are pretty strong. And it would be sensible to stay away from windows while these storms come through.
3:46 - The warning has expired. The storms outran the polygon anyway. As usual, Ben Smith does excellent severe weather coverage. He's been around a long time. I've seen old footage of him from some of the classic events, can't remember if it was the 1989 Huntsville tornado or maybe the Palm Sunday outbreak in the early 1990's.
4:05 AM - The storms are all under severe limits now. They've split into two lines.
