While this is serious for the areas affected, this is not the main event, which is still expected to come either late this evening or overnight into tomorrow morning for the majority of North Alabama, stretching into Southern Middle Tennessee. As long as this system has dragged on, need to save energy for when things do affect the I-65 corridor as it's often called. But just popping on to acknowledge this activity for now.
5:58 PM - Looks like this line of storms will get to Northwest Alabama around Midnight. There have been some isolated storms that went severe this evening mainly up in Middle Tennessee, including the city of Nashville at one point. And I think a "hailer" storm that affected Colbert, Franklin, and Lawrence Counties in Northwest Alabama. As I said before, based on past experience with this system, I'm saving my energy for the main event overnight tonight. The window for severe weather for most of us is probably about from 11 PM to 8 AM with this system.
