Everything is under severe limits now besides the flash flooding. The risk of severe weather is low, but somewhere could always get a surprise within the next hour or two. Stranger things have happened over the years. If you have to go in to work really early, please be careful and don't try to cross any flooded roadways. That's the way I could see us having some loss of life the rest of this morning. I did not hear of any injuries from the Florence/Shoals tornado or any of the other storms we dealt with tonight. Even when a tree fell on some people's house, they sent pictures on social media but were okay.
3:32 AM - Note from SPC makes it look like what I've noticed too, the tornado/severe thunderstorm threat shifting down around Birmingham and points South and West.
3:42 - And now Huntsville and surrounding areas join the onslaught of flash flood warnings.
3:46 - Got a possible tornado moving through Noxubee and Kemper Counties in Mississippi. It will probably weaken as it moves Northeast, but it's something to watch, since this long night is not quite over for some of the southernmost counties of North AL.
3:49 - Just for fun . . . there is currently rain, fog, and mist in Cullman, a thunderstorm in the vicinity. The temperature is 61 degrees (well technically 60.8, but I round to whole numbers). The dewpoint is also 61 degrees, making the relative humidity 100%. Winds are out of the East at 8 miles per hour. The pressure is 29.94 inches and falling slowly. Visiblity is down to 1.75 miles.
It's 63 degrees in Jasper and 61 in Haleyville. You can have severe weather with marginally unstable-enough air like this, but the risk is really low.
Now on the other hand, Birmingham has mostly cloudy skies, a temperature of 74 and a dewpoint of 66. They certainly could see some severe weather over the next few hours in Jefferson County and thereabouts.
3:53 - And the Tornado Watch has been cancelled for Cullman, Marshall, Jackson, and Dekalb Counties now.
Walker County is technically under a watch until 10 AM CDT. But I think they're done with the severe weather down there too. Not going to wait on that to be cancelled. I'm posting a forecast summary and sacking out. On the chance they did get something, they're covered by my NOAA Weather Radio, unlike a lot of these other counties.
