3:08 AM - And somebody might need it in Spanish . . .
So here be another graphic. This includes places like Brownsboro and Gurley. Hard to confirm at night, but it does look pretty impressive on radar.
Well just as soon as I said that, the next volume scan showed much weaker rotation. But you have to respect warnings tonight. Storms cycle up and down. And sometimes in this kind of a setup, a storm can produce several brief tornadoes in the same general area, where you see rotation on the radar.
3:13 - And now we have a new Tornado Warning polygon that includes Hytop and Scottsboro. The polygon affects Madison, Jackson, and Marshall Counties.
3:15 - Here's a really good look at who's in this new polygon.
3:17 - And we also have a large Flash Flood Warning polygon from about Moulton and Hartselle through Huntsville up to Winchester.
Also a Severe Thunderstorm Warning for Northeast Jackson County and clipping Northern Dekalb County, mainly the community of Ider there.
3:21 - The rotation looks weak on radar at the moment, but in these polygons, still need to stay in a small central room or hallway on the lowest floor of a sturdy house, away from windows.
New tornado warning . . . just going to post the new one below, the graphics and describe. Not going to make a new post for every single warning like this, every polygon. Because that would get pretty confusing after a while, too many posts.
New Hope, Guntersville, Albertville, and Geraldine in Marshall and Dekalb Counties are included in this new warning polygon.
Also the town of Grant in this new polygon for the new tornado warning.
3:36 - Had technical problems and had to reboot, this new Tornado Warning is mainly for Arab.
This does include Eva and far Northeast Cullman County like Baileyton and Holly Pond. Also Union Grove, Guntersville, Albertville, and Douglas and Boaz in Marshall County included in this new warning.
And by the way, what I was trying to post when the connection went out briefly . . . Cullman, the city, is now included in a Severe Thunderstorm Warning. So wouldn't be a bad idea to stay in a safe place there even though it is more likely to be damaging straight line winds. It carries a note that tornadoes can develop very quickly in this environment.
3:40 - And right here are our only severe thunderstorm left to deal with in North Alabama at the moment. Unfortunately more than one segment appears to be trying to produce brief tornadoes. And those are still dangerous. Even if only on the ground for a minute or two, or five or ten minutes, any tornado is dangerous. Need to get to shelter and stay there.
3:43 - And now we have a Severe Thunderstorm Warning that extends all the way over to Fort Payne in Dekalb County. Wouldn't hurt to shelter to some extent from these warnings for damaging straight line winds too. Sometimes in a squall line overnight, it's tough to tell the difference really.
3:46 - Sort of good news, our only remaining Tornado Warning is the storm affecting Eva, Baileyton, Arab, Guntersville, down to Boaz. The ones further to the Northeast have been let go. Some severe thunderstorm warnings are still in effect for damaging winds and hail in NE AL though.
3:51 - Ok that new severe thunderstorm warning actually includes almost all of Dekalb County and Southern Jackson County, places like Hollywood and Scottsboro.
3:52 - Zooming in on our one Tornado Warning at the moment, looks like the best chance of seeing a tornado right now is near Arab. But anywhere in this polygon, please respect the warning and stay sheltered. Because in a situation like this, sometimes more than one tornado can quickly spin up within the same general area. They can come and go really fast. And you want to be in a safe place in case of that and also from any damaging straight-line winds or hail such a severe thunderstorm may be producing apart from a tornado.
