RIGHT NOW IS APPROACHING 545 IN THE MORNING. SO GETTING OUT THE DOOR THIS MORNING, IF YOU HAVE TO BE OUTSIDE ALL DAY LONG, THE STORM THREAT WILL INCREASE WITH TIME AND IT MAINLY HEADING INTO SUNSET. TEMPERATURES GET CLOSE TO ABOUT 70 DEGREES BEFORE THE IMPACTS BEGIN AND THEN YOU NEED TO BE ON ALERT. 7 P.M. AND MAINLY INTO AREAS OF 65. ALERT DAY MEANS THAT LIFE THREATENING WEATHER IS POSSIBLE THE TIMEFRAME IF WE’RE GOING FROM WEST TO EAST FOR PM IT STARTS OUR ALABAMA AND MISSISSIPPI BORDER COUNTIES AND THEN IT CONTINUES ON EASTWARD THROUGH 6 A.M.. BUT THE FLOOD THREAT, THE FLASH FLOODING THAT COMES AFTER, THE POTENTIAL FOR WIND, HAIL AND ISOLATED TORNADOES. THE STORM PREDICTION CENTER REALLY COLORATION ON THE MAP IS JUST PREDICTING WHERE THERE WILL BE SCATTERED TO POTENTIALLY NUMEROUS AND CERTAINLY WIDESPREAD THREATS FOR TORNADOES TODAY AND HOW IT BREAKS DOWN IN THE TIMELINE HERE IN CENTRAL ALABAMA, IT LOOKS TO BE 4 P.M.. THERE’S THAT BORDER MARION WINSTON AND WALKER COUNTIES IT STARTS UP HERE 7 P.M.. THAT CLUSTER OF COURSE WILL CONTINUE TO CHANGE IN APPEARANCE. SO WE’LL BE DISSECTING ALL OF THE THUNDERSTORMS TO SEE IF THERE’S ANY KIND OF BOWING IN THE NATURE OF THE RADAR SIGNATURE. NOW. 7 P.M. THROUGH 6 A.M. THIS IS WHERE THE FLOOD THREAT WILL START. AND I THINK THAT’S MAINLY FOR A LOT OF THE TRIBUTARIES OF THE COOSA. SO WATCH OUT AROUND PELL CITY RIVER SIDE AND MOVING INTO LAKESIDE LANDING. SO THE RAIN SHOWERS ARE ALREADY BEGINNING TO LIFT UP AROUND LOUISIANA AND SOUTHERN ARKANSAS. SO WE’LL CONTINUE TO WATCH THE SATELLITE RADAR COMPOSITE TO SEE HOW IMPACTS WILL CERTAINLY START TO TRICKLE IN TODAY. THE BE ON ALERT FOR SEVERE WEATHER STARTING AT 4 P.M., BUT WHEN’S A DAY? MORNING.

YOU’LL START TO SEE THE COVERAGE INCREASING BY 6:00 IN THE AFTERNOON. CERTAINLY IN ALABAMA. BUT I 65 INTO DINNER TIME, THE COVERAGE BECOMES A LOT MORE WIDESPREAD AND I THINK IT STARTS TO BECOME A LOT MORE OF A CLUSTER OF RAIN THAT TAKES ABOUT 2 TO 3 HOURS TO MOVE SOUTH WHERE THIS IS MIDNIGHT TO ABOUT FIVE, 6:00 IN THE MORNING. WE’RE TALKING ABOUT SOME RAINFALL ON THE ORDER OF 1 TO 3 INCHES PER HOUR.
