11:02 PM - Also important to note the Tornado Watch has been expanded to include the rest of Northeast Alabama.
11:13 - You can see the Tornado Watch in yellow above. Notice it now does include Huntsville but has been cleared for places like Fayette and Hamilton.
The severe thunderstorms should be to Madison by Midnight. Folks in Huntsville be getting ready. I still advise treating these warnings with respect - get into a small central room or at least a hallway on the lowest floor of a sturdy house, away from windows.
11:29 - New severe thunderstorm warning includes Lincoln, Moore, and Franklin Counties in Tennessee.
11:31 - Here is a radar update.
Squall line is getting close to Huntsville. A friend reports insanely strong winds and rain in Cullman.
11:40 - Severe thunderstorm warning now extended through the rest of Madison County including Huntsville. These storms do have a history of producing wind damage and power outages across several counties tonight.

11:49 - Lawrence, Lauderdale, Colbert, and Franklin Counties have been cleared from the Tornado Watch now.
The line does appear to be weakening now, but still if you're in Huntsville or down in Hanceville, in the path of these severe thunderstorms in the squall line, it is still a good idea to be away from windows and electrical stuff at least.

12:04 AM Sunday - Walker and Winston Counties have been cleared from the tornado watch now.

12:12 - What a night. It looks like a tornado produced damage in Athens tonight even though there was "only" a severe thunderstorm warning in effect.
12:17 - Limestone, Morgan, and Cullman Counties are cleared from the Tornado Watch.
12:19 - We have one severe thunderstorm warning left that stretches down to Arab, affects Madison, Marshall, Jackson, Franklin, Lincoln, and Moore counties there in Northeast Alabama/Southern Middle Tennessee. In this polygon you might want to be in a safe place out of respect for the damage these storms have done tonight. Sometimes they have even produced a tornado without a formal tornado warning, just a severe thunderstorm warning that occurs within a tornado watch, and maybe the severe thunderstorm warning had a tag that reminded you a tornado could develop quickly.
Better safe than sorry sometimes with these things.
That goes about another ten minutes.
12:28 - Actually these storms have weakened below severe limits. Madison County in Alabama has been cleared from the Tornado Watch. So have Lincoln and Moore Counties in Tennessee.
