Severe Weather Outbreak Potential for Southern United States
Issued: April 12, 2020 @ 5:00pm
The national weather service issued Tornado Watch 109 at 420pm EDT for much of central and northern Alabama as the severe weather outbreak continues this afternoon across the southern US.
While official tornado reports have been relatively sparse at this time there are several severe thunderstorms with rotation that have developed across the south.
One that I’ve seen in particular is a large rotating thunderstorm just west of Tuscaloosa, AL. This storm currently has a tornado warning on it as it advances to the east-northeast into the Tuscaloosa metro area.
High Res computer models continue to project that thunderstorms will continue to blossom across the south for the next several hours. The severe thunderstorm/tornado threat will move eastward into Alabama by this evening.
