ABC 33/40 Severe Weather Coverage - February 17, 2022

HERE IS NOT ROTATION. PUTTING RIGHT THERE. PUTTING THAT CENTER OF ROTATION RIGHT ABOUT HERE. CROSSING OVER THE TOM BIGGBY RIVER. THAT'S LIKELY WHERE WE HAVE SOME OF THAT ROTATION AT THIS POINT. IT'S GOOD CROSSING VERY CLOSE TO PICKETS VILLA JUST SOUTH OF POCKETS WELL. LET ME CHECK THE CORRELATION COEFFICIENT. THERE WAS A LITTLE BIT AND ALWAYS THERE. STILL LOOK NOISY. NOTHING AT THIS POINT. NOTHING TELLS ME THE TORNADO IS ON THE GROUND. DOES IT IN A SONG ABOUT TO BE ON THE GROUND IN THE NEXT FEW RADAR SCANS. THESE OFTEN TOUCHED ON QUICKLY THEN THEY CAN PULL BACK UP. A STREET THIS LIKE IT IS A pTOR IN THIS POLYGON YOU NEED TO STAY IN YOUR SAFE PLACE. RIGHT NOW I WILL CIRCLE ON HERE WHERE THE MOST LIKELY LOCATION OF THAT ROTATION IS.IT'S ABOUT TO CROSS OVER HIGHWAY 14. MIKE JAMES MENTIONED NO ONE SHOULD BE DRIVING ON HIGHWAY 14 NEAR PICKENS FILM, ANYWHERE NEAR ELLISVILLE. THIS IS ABOUT TO BE CROSSING OVER HIGHWAY 14 PRETTY SOON. HEADED IN THE GENERAL NORTHEAST DIRECTION. THIS THING IS MOVING HIGHWAY SPEED. IT'S MOVING QUICKLY. MOVING 65 MILES PER HOUR. LIKELY NOT GOING TO BE ABLE TO SEE THIS TORNADO. IF YOU WERE TRYING TO GO OUTSIDE AND SEE IT IT'S GOING TO BE VERY WET GOOD >> I WANT TO SHOW PEOPLE WHAT THIS LOOK LIKE ACROSS THE STATE LINE. LET'S TAKE WHAT SO 5. THIS WILL BE THE SAME SPOT RIGHT HERE. THIS WAS ACROSS THE LINE. WATCH THIS. THIS IS VIDEO TAKEN. WE'VE GOT A ROTATING WALL CLOUD HERE. AGAIN CAMERON LINDSEY WHO SHOT THIS VIDEO INDICATES THAT THERE WAS A FUNNEL CLOUD INVOLVED IN THIS. THIS WAS BACK IN MISSISSIPPI ABOUT 10 MILES WEST OF THE ALABAMA/MISSISSIPPI STATE LINE. THAT'S A STORM IS COMING THROUGH PICKENS COUNTY ALABAMA RIGHT NOW. AGAIN, IF YOU'RE IN ANY OF THE PLACES WE CALLED OUT. FOR EXAMPLE CARROLLTON, QUARTO, REFORM, SOPS, YOU NEED TO BE SHELTERED. THAT'S WITH THAT THING LOOK LIKE A LITTLE EARLIER. LET'S GO BACK TO THE RADAR. X3:41. AGAIN WERE WATCHING GREAT CONCERN FOR THE TORNADO THAT IS NOW JUST NORTH OF HIGHWAY 14 OF THE COMMUNITY OF SOPS WHICH IS HAD A HISTORY OF TORNADOES. THEY BEEN HIT BEFORE. THAT'S GONNA KEEP ON MOVING TOWARDS CARROLLTON. CARROLLTON, THIS IS HIGHWAY 17 BUT SOME KNEE-JERK NORTH-SOUTH ROUTE ON THE FAR WESTERN SIDE OF THE STATE. 70 RUNS UP TO CARROLLTON BACK TO REFORM. NO ONE SHOULD BE ALONG HIGHWAY 17 ARE US 82 IN PICKENS COUNTY AS WELL. THIS POTENTIAL TORNADO MOVES ON TO THE NORTHEAST. NOW I WANT TO GO LIVE TO INTERSTATE 22 WITH THE WIND FIELD EXIT. AGAIN THIS IS WHERE WE HAVE OUR NORTHERN TORNADO WARNING THAT'S CURRENTLY IN EFFECT. THE SIGNATURE, OKAY THEY HAVE CANCELED THE WARNING. THE GOOD NEWS, TAYLOR, LET ME KNOW THAT THE WEATHER SERVICE HAS CANCELED THE TORNADO WARNING FOR FAYETTE AND MARION. IF YOU ARE IN WINFIELD, GITLIN, BRILLIANT, TWIN, AMBER TOWN YOU'RE ALL CLEAR. THE TORNADIC SIGNATURE HAS GONE AWAY. THERE WAS STABLE IN THIS PART OF THE STATE. WE FIGURE THAT WOULD BE THE CASE. THAT'S IT MIKHAYLA LOOK AMONG TRAFFIC ALONG INTERSTATE 22 NEAR MARION COUNTY NEAR WINFIELD. WE WANT TO STRESS THE TORNADO WARNING FOR FAYETTE, NORTHERN FAYETTE, SOUTHERN MARION HAS BEEN CANCELED. IF YOU'RE IN WINFIELD, YOU WIN, BRILLIANT MANY OF THOSE COMMUNITIES WE TALKED ABOUT YOUR GOOD. YOU CAN COME OUT OF YOUR SAFE PLACE. THERE'S NO DANGER FROM A TORNADO AT THIS POINT.YOU'RE STILL UNDER A TORNADO WATCH. LET'S GO BACK TO THE PICKENS COUNTY STORM. WERE DOWN TO ONE ACTIVE STORM IN PROGRESS NOW. WE WILL GO BACK TO THE RADAR. ORGAN FOCUS ON PICKENS COUNTY. AS YOU WATCH THIS THE NORTHERN MORNING HAS BEEN CANCELED. WE WANT TORNADO WARNING IN THE WHOLE STATE. IT'S THIS MORNING.

IF THIS CONTINUES ON THE CURRENT TRACK WILL BE MOVING UP INTO THE EXTREME NORTHWEST PART OF TUSCALOOSA COUNTY. THEN UP INTO FAYETTE COUNTY. THIS WILL NOT AFFECT THE CITY OF TUSCALOOSA. THIS WILL NOT AFFECT THE CITY MORE SUPPORT THIS WILL NOT AFFECT THE UNIVERSITY OF ALABAMA. AGAIN, POSSIBLE TORNADO NEAR SAPS. THIS IS NORTH OF ELLISVILLE. IT IS MOVING RIGHT UP TOWARDS CARROLLTON. CARROLLTON RIGHT HERE THIS IS A COUNTY SEAT OF PICKENS COUNTY. THIS IS WHAT HE'S GOT THE FACE IN THE WINDOW. A LOT OF PEOPLE HAVE BEEN THROUGH THERE. YOU SEE THE SIGNS SHOWING THE FACE. THE OTHER SHOT IS FROM HER SKYCAM IS AN REFORM THAT'S LOOKING BACK INTO THIS. REFERRAL IS LOCATED RIGHT HERE. THE CAMERA THAT YOU SEE ON YOUR SCREEN IS COMING FROM REFORM. TAYLOR IS WORKING ON. REMEMBER, ALL OF THIS TODAY WILL BE WRAPPED IN RAIN. THERE'S A GOOD CHANCE YOU WON'T SEE MUCH OF ANYTHING. WE ENCOURAGE PEOPLE IF YOU'RE IN THIS MORNING TALK ON THE PICKENS COUNTY TO GO OUTSIDE AND LOOK FOR THIS THING. YOU'VE GOT A FIGHT THAT TEMPTATION TO GO TO YOUR SAFE PLACE. IF THERE'S ANYTHING OUT THERE WE WILL SHOW TOO. WE PROBABLY CAN'T DO THAT BECAUSE IT'S ALL WRAPPED IN RAIN. I CAN POSSIBLE TORNADO NEAR SAPS AND PICKENS COUNTY. IT'S MOVING NORTHEAST TOWARDS CARROLLTON AND ULTIMATELY THE US 82 CORRIDOR WHICH IS RIGHT HERE. THIS IS QUARTO AN REFORM. BETSY WAS 82. THIS IS A PICKENS COUNTY LINE APPEAR. THIS IS TUSCALOOSA COUNTY OF HERE. THIS MIGHT PUT THAT NORTHWESTERN CORNER OF TUSCALOOSA COUNTY. THIS IS WHERE DEW POINT'S OR HIGHER. I'M WATCHING THE DEW POINT UP IN THE MIDDLE 60s HERE. THERE IS MORE UNSTABLE. THIS IS MORE FAVORABLE PART OF THE STATE FOR THE POSSIBILITY OF A TORNADO. SURE ENOUGH WE HAVE ONE RIGHT NOW. AGAIN, THIS IS A TORNADO WARNING THAT IS IN EFFECT FOR PICKENS COUNTY. THE WARNING FOR NORTHERN FAYETTE, SOUTHERN MARION HAS BEEN CANCELED. IF YOU JUST MISSED OUT. WE HAVE ONE ACTIVE WANTING AN ENTIRE STATE RIGHT NOW. THE WARNING FOR PICKENS COUNTY IS SET TO EXTEND UNTIL 4:15 THIS AFTERNOON. THAT'S 30 MINUTES FROM NOW. IT'S CURRENTLY 3:45. AGAIN, THAT WILL BE MOVING RIGHT APPEAR TOWARDS CARROLLTON. IN FACT THE SUTURES BASICALLY COMING RIGHT INTO DOWNTOWN CARROLLTON RIGHT NOW. SO, YOU SHOULD HAVE BEEN SHELTERED 15 MINUTES AGO. NOW THE CALL IS MORE URGENT. YOU NEED TO BE IN A SITE BUILT HOME IN A SMALL BATHROOM, CLOSET, HALLWAY. LOWEST FLOOR. YOU DON'T HAVE TO BE UNDERGROUND. YOU WANT TO BE NEAR THE CENTER OF THE HOUSE IF HE COULD DO THAT. YOU WANT TO BE AWAY FROM WINDOWS. YOU WANT TO WEAR A HELMET. AN EXPENSIVE BICYCLE HELMET WILL GREATLY MITIGATE YOUR CHANCE OF BEING SERIOUSLY INJURED OR LOSING YOUR LIFE IN THE CASE OF A TORNADO. SO MANY OF THE INJURIES OR BLUNT FORCE TRAUMA TO THIS PART OF THE BODY UP THERE HERE. THAT'S WHY THE HELMET USE IS IMPORTANT. YOU CAN HELP US. IT COULD BE A HERO IN THE PROCESS BY CALLING ANYBODY YOU KNOW OR TEXTING THEM. WITHIN THE CARROLLTON, REFORM, QUARTO, ANY OF THESE COMMUNITIES WE BEEN TALKING ABOUT HERE IN THE POLYGON. LET THEM KNOW THEY ARE IN A TORNADO WARNING. AND THEY NEED TO TURN THIS ON AND WATCH. THEY NEED TO GET TO A SAFE PLACE NOW. A LOT OF PEOPLE THESE DAYS ARE OFF THE GRID. WE DON'T BLAME THEM. BLOOD PEOPLE LIKE TO BE OFF THE GRID. THAT'S FINE. YOU CAN HELP US GET THEM BACK ON THE GRID SO THEY WILL KNOW THEY'VE GOT TO DO SOMETHING. ON A DAY LIKE TODAY WITH THE WEATHER IS DANGEROUS YOU GOT TO STAY ON THE GRADE. YOU HAVE TO STAY ATTACHED. YOUR WATCHING CAT VIDEOS OR FREAK OF THE WEEK OR WHATEVER ON STREAMING ARE NOT GONNA TELL YOU THERE'S A TORNADO IN PICKENS COUNTY ALABAMA. THEY DON'T KNOW WHEN THAT IS THAT THEY DON'T CARE. WE DO. A TORNADO WARNING AFFECT THE NEXT 30 MINUTES. WHEREVER POSSIBLE TORNADO NEW CARROLLTON THAT'S IN PICKENS COUNTY. THE ROTATION IS FAIRLY BROAD. IT'S NOT THE BEST SIGNATURE WE'VE SEEN. STILL, NO DOUBT YOU GOTTA BE SHELTERED THROUGH CARE. THE POSSIBLE TOURNAMENT CIRCULATION IS OUR CARROLLTON COMING UP TOWARDS US ANY 2. MOST LIKELY IT WILL MOVE SOME POINT BETWEEN QUARTO AND REFORM WHICH IS RIGHT HERE. REFORM IS HERE, THIS IS QUARTO THAT WILL CROSS HIGHWAY 82. IF IT KEEPS UP THAT WILL MOVE INTO THE EXTREME NORTHWESTERN CORNER OF TUSCALOOSA COUNTY. THIS IS HAVING 171 RIGHT HERE APPEARED THAT RUNS FROM NORTHPORT TO FAYETTE. THIS IS HE WAS 43 RIGHT BACK OVER HERE APPEARED WE STRESS, THIS WILL NOT AFFECT TUSCALOOSA. THE CITY OF TUSCALOOSA. OR THE UNIVERSITY OF ALABAMA. THIS WILL STATE NORTHWEST OF THE CITY ITSELF. POSSIBLE TORNADO NEAR CARROLLTON IN PICKENS COUNTY. HE COUNTY SEAT MOVING NORTHEAST. THE WEATHER SERVICE HAS US MOVING NORTHEAST ON 65 MILES AN HOUR. THAT'S A PRETTY RAPID MOTION HERE AND THAT WILL BE MOVING UP IN THE DIRECTION OF US 82. IN A MATTER OF MINUTES. OBVIOUSLY OUR ADVICE IS WE DON'T HAVE ANYONE DRIVING ON US 82. BETWEEN SAY THE TUSCALOOSA COUNTY LINE AND ETHEL SAVILLE. YOU JUST DON'T WANT TO BE IN A CAR. A TORNADO EVEN A SMALL ONE CAN TAKE A CAR AND THROW IT LIKE A TOY. WHEN THAT HAPPENS THAT'S WHEN AGAIN WE SEE SERIOUS INJURY AND LOSS OF LIFE SOMETIMES. THE WORST POSSIBLE PLACE TO BE IS A CAR OR A MOBILE HOME. IT'S THE SAME THING. MOBILE HOMES ARE BEAUTIFUL AFFORDABLE HOUSING.OU CAN'T STAY IN THEM TO RUN A TORNADO. WE HAVE TRAGIC LOSS OF LICENSE OR YOUR FILM. DOWN IN HALE COUNTY. SOUTHERN HILL COUNTY. A COUPLE OF WEEKS AGO. WE DON'T HEAR ABOUT THAT TODAY. WE REALLY NEED TO WORK ON THAT WERE DOING OUR BEST TO GIVE YOU TIME AND A HEADS UP TO GET OUT OF THE MOBILE HOME TO GET TO A COMMUNITY SHELTER OR AGAIN, ANYTHING, SITE BUILD STRUCTURE THAT OFFERS SHELTER. WHETHER IT'S A GAS STATION, RESTAURANT OR WHATEVER THAT IS. AGAIN, NOBODY SHOULD BE IN A MOBILE HOME. NOBODY SHOULD BE IN A CAR THESE TORNADO WARNING PUBLIC GODS WERE CALLING OUT TODAY. WE HAVE THE TOUR NEXT CIRCULATION NORTHEAST OF CARROLLTON. IN HIS PROBABLY COME THROUGH CARROLLTON IN THE LAST 5 MINUTES. AGAIN THE NEXT STOP IS GOING TO BE UP HERE ON THE US 82 CORRIDOR BETWEEN REFORM AND QUARTO. ANY DAMAGE REPORTS TAYLOR? I'VE NOT SEEN ANY SO FAR. >> ARE NOT SEEN ANY EITHER. KEEP MONITORING FOR THAT CONFIRMATION FORM A COALITION COEFFICIENT DEBRIS SIGNATURE. O FAR, SO GOOD. I HAVEN'T SEEN THAT SHOW UP EITHER. THIS IS MOVED OVER CARROLLTON AT THIS POINT. WHICH IS A VERY POPULATED AREA. THIS WAS ON THE GROUND I SUSPECT WE WOULD BE SHOWING A DEBRIS SIGNATURE AT THIS POINT. NOW, THAT DOESN'T MEAN THAT THIS CAN'T TOUCH DOWN HERE IN THE NEXT FEW MINUTES OR SO. AT THIS POINT HAVEN'T HAD ANY CONFIRMATION FROM THAT. HAVEN'T SEEN ANYTHING ON SOCIAL MEDIA. I BEEN WATCHING ON AS WELL. BUT, WE DO WANT TO TRY TO DO IS SWITCH OVER TO THE COLUMBUS RADAR. I HAD A COUPLE ABOUT SCAMS AND THE VELOCITY THERE.OW, WERE GETTING A CLEARER PICTURE HERE. THIS IS SHOWING US A BETTER LOOK AT SOME THAT ROTATION. THIS IS A LITTLE BIT CLOSER TO THE GROUND. FORCING THE LOWER LEVELS A LITTLE BIT BETTER. SHOWING US THAT ROTATION IS STILL VERY CLOSE TO CARROLLTON AT THIS POINT. LOOKING AT THE CORRELATION COEFFICIENT. NOTHING TO CONCERNING AT THIS POINT. THIS IS SOMETHING WE WATCH VERY CAREFULLY. OF COURSE WE WERE TALKING THESE TORNADOES.IF WE WERE TO SEE THE BRIGHT COLORS SHOW UP. >> BY THE WAY WE HAVE A CAMERA ON TAYLOR. THEY ARE TIRED OF LOOKING AT ME. I'M A TIRED OLD MAN. THEY DO WANT TO SEE ME. THANK YOU. >> JAMES IS BUSY HE NEEDS TO CHECK THE PICTURES TO MAKE SURE WE DON'T HAVE ANY DAMAGE REPORTS. AT THIS POINT, THE CENTER OF ROTATION WOULD BE LIKELY MOVING VERY CLOSE TO CARROLLTON. IT'S ON ITS WAY TOWARDS 82, WHICH IS GOING TO PROBABLY CROSS JUST TO THE EAST OF REFORM. IF YOU'RE IN REFORM YOU'RE NOT SAFE PLACE BECAUSE YOU'RE IN THE POLYGON. WHAT I'M GONNA DO HERE IS SOMETHING TO DO ANOTHER TRACK ON THE SYSTEM. IT'S MOVING QUICKLY.ERE TALKING 65 MILES PER HOUR. THAT'S WHAT YOU DRIVE DOWN THE HIGHWAY OUT. THIS IS GOING TO BE ONE OF THOSE SYSTEMS THAT ONCE IT'S HEADED YOUR WAY IS COULD BE HEADED YOUR WAY VERY QUICKLY. I WANT TO PUT ON THAT TRUCK THERE FOR YOU AND GIVE YOU SOME APPROXIMATE ARRIVAL TIMES. NOW ONCE YOU GET TO THIS TIME IT'S TO LATE. YOU SHOULD ALREADY BE IN THAT SAFE PLACE. HERE IN THE POLYGON AT THIS POINT. YOU SHOULD ARMY BE THERE. THE SYSTEM FINALLY ARRIVING VERY CLOSE TO THE REFORM AREA OR CROSSING JUST TO THE SOUTHEAST OF REFORM AMONG 82. AROUND 3:58 BROWNSVILLE AROUND 4:09. RIGHT NOW, THAT WOULD BE HER AREA OF ROTATION. WORTH NOTING, WHERE YOU ARE SEEING THIS RIGHT HERE IN GREEN. THAT'S INDICATING SOME REALLY STRONG WIND. ALTHOUGH THAT DOESN'T LOOK TO ME TO BE A TORNADO SIGNATURE, YOU'VE GOT SOME STRONG WINDS MOVING THROUGH. WE KNOW TODAY IS THE DAY WHERE WE'VE GOT THOSE VERY STRONG WINDS ALOFT. THIS COULD COME DOWN TO THE SURFACE. WE COULD BE TALKING ABOUT SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WARNINGS WITH GAS UP TO 70 MILES PER HOUR. IT'S ENOUGH TO CAUSE DAMAGE. AS YOU CAN SEE ON THAT REFORM CAMERA. HEAVY, HEAVY RAIN. NOT A DAY. I KEEP SAYING IT BUT DON'T TRY TO GO OUT AND SEE THE STORMS. DON'T TRY TO GO SEE THE ROTATION. YOU'RE NOT GONNA SEE MUCH OF ANYTHING. WHAT YOU'RE SEEING RIGHT NOW AND THAT REFORM CAMERA IS THAT STRAIGHT LINE WHEN AREA TO SHOW ANY. THESE ARE STRONG WINDS. YOU CAN SEE THE TREES BLOWING AROUND. AT THIS POINT STILL NOT OWING TO MUCH IN THE WAY OF SAYING A DEBRIS SIGNATURE ON THE CORRELATION COEFFICIENT WHICH IS GOOD. WE NEVER WANT TO SEE THAT. AS SOON AS WE SEE THAT WE GET THAT CONFIRMATION THIS IS BEEN ON THE GROUND. AT THIS POINT I'M NOT SAYING THAT. BUT, STILL CAPABLE OF PRODUCING A TORNADO. SO RIGHT NOW, IT WILL BE HEADING VERY CLOSE TO 82 IN THE NEXT FEW MINUTES. THE ROTATION IS STARTING TO POUNCE TO THE NORTHEAST OF CARROLLTON AT THIS POINT. SO LET'S SEE HERE. ALL RIGHT. THE NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE IS DISCUSSING WHETHER OR NOT THEY'RE GOING TO FOLLOW THE WATCH FURTHER EASTWARD. TO SEE WHAT THEY DECIDE TO DO. WE'VE GOT 8 PEOPLE AT A NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE IN BIRMINGHAM. WE DO AN AWESOME JOB. THEY WILL BE DISCUSSING 4 SO WE WILL PASS THAT INFORMATION ALONG IF WE GET THAT. AT THIS POINT, STRONGEST WINDS WILL BE RIGHT HERE. YOU COULD SEE THAT THEY ARE STARTING TO TRIM AWAY THE BOX. LET ME SAY MOUNT AND I COULD SHOW YOU WHERE THEY'VE TRIM THAT BOX AWAY. SO FOR SOME OF YOU BE CAN GIVE YOU THAT ALL CLEAR. SO SAMPSON YOU WERE NO LONGER IN THAT WARNING POLYGON. AT THIS POINT THE ROTATION HAS PASSED NORTH OF YOU. YOU COULD COME OUT OF THAT'S A PLACE FOR NOW. THERE'S NO IMMEDIATE THREAT OF A TORNADO. ALICE BILL YOU HAVE BEEN IN THE POLYGON AT ALL. STILL, THE IMMEDIATE THREAT FOR YOU IS GONE. THIS IS WHERE WERE TALKING ABOUT. WE SEE THE BRANSON GREENS COMING TOGETHER. THAT'S TELLING US THE WINDS ARE MOVING IN DIFFERENT DIRECTIONS. GREENE GOING TOWARDS A RADAR, BIRD GOING AWAY FROM THE RADAR. THE STAGE THAT'S TELLING US THERE'S SOME ROTATION GOING ON RIGHT IN THIS AREA. WITH THIS, THIS IS LOOKING MORE TO ME TO BE A STRAIGHT LINE WIND TYPE SIGNATURE. THOUGHTS WERE TO BE CROSSING TOWARDS SAY NORTHWESTERN TUSCALOOSA COUNTY. YOU'RE GOING TO GET SOME STRONG WINDS. THOSE ARE MOVING TOWARDS THE EAST HERE. WHILE THIS ROTATION AREA RIGHT HERE IS MOVING TOWARDS THE NORTHEAST TOWARDS 82. LIKELY TO MOVE RIGHT IN BETWEEN REFORM AND GORDO. WERE GOING TO SEE IF WE CAN FIND ANYTHING ON THE REFLECTIVITY HERE. ONCE AGAIN, I WANT TO POINT OUT THIS IS SOME REALLY HEAVY RAIN. WHAT WERE SEEING THE PINKS HERE, THAT'S REALLY HEAVY RAIN. MISSING OUT ON THAT REFORM CAMERA AS WELL. ONCE AGAIN YOU'RE NOT GOING TO BE ABLE TO SEE MUCH OF ANYTHING IF YOU DO GO OUTSIDE. DON'T GO OUTSIDE AND TRY TO SEE THIS. IF WE FIND SOMETHING WE WILL SEE IT ON ONE OF OUR CAMERAS. OF COURSE WE WILL SHOW IT TO APPEAR ON THE AIR. RIGHT NOW YOU'RE NOT GOING TO SEE MUCH OF ANYTHING. REPUBLIC, SEE MUCH OF ANYTHING EITHER BECAUSE IT IS RAINING SO HEAVILY. SO, STILL ADVISING PEOPLE NOT TO BE DRIVING ON 82. LET'S PULL THIS OUT A LITTLE BIT. WITHIN THOSE LAST COUNTS THIS LOOKS TO ME TO BE A BIT BROADER BUT, STILL STRONG WINDS. ANY THUNDERSTORMS WHO TODAY WAS GONNA BE CAPABLE OF PRODUCING STRONG WINDS. JUST BECAUSE WE DO HAVE THOSE STRONG WINDS UP IN THE UPPER LAYERS OF THE ATMOSPHERE. THAT COULD BE PULLED UP TO THE SURFACE VERY EASILY. >> WHAT I WANTED YOU TO A REAL QUICK IS GIVE A BROAD PICTURE. A LOT OF PEOPLE JUST JOINING US. REFOCUSING ON THIS MORNING SPOT BECAUSE COUNTY. YOU SHOULD BE SHELTERED. REFORM, GORDO, T WAS 82 BACKUP TOWARDS LOVE BUG. I WANT TO SHOW BIG PICTURE. LET'S TALK ABOUT THE BIGGER CITIES AND WHERE WE ARE WERE GOING FOR THE REST OF TODAY AND TONIGHT. LET ME STRESS THIS IS THE ONLY WARNING IN THE ENTIRE STATE. THAT'S IT. YOU COULD SEE IT LOCATED RIGHT HERE IN THE FAR NORTHEASTERN CORNER OF PICKENS COUNTY, TO SOLICIT HERE, BIRMINGHAM HERE. THIS IS ANNISTON AND GADSTON. THIS IS JUST A LOT OF RAIN IN NORTH ALABAMA. JUST A RAIN MOUSE THAT'S ALSO DOMINATED. THERE'S NO EVIDENCE OF ANY SEVERE WEATHER. THERE'S A LITTLE MESO LOW BECAME THROUGH LAMAR COUNTY. THE WEATHER SERVICE ISSUED A TORNADO WARNING BRIEFLY FOR SOUTHERN ARYAN, NORTHERN FAYETTE. THE SIGNATURE IS GONE. MISTRESS WRITING. THERE'S NOT MUCH LIGHTNING. ALSO LIGHTNING IS DONE TO THE SOUTH AND WEST. WHAT THIS TORMENTS FAYETTE PICKENS COUNTY. THERE'S NO OTHER WARNINGS IN PLACE. HEAVIER STORMS WILL LIKELY MOVE TO THE TUSCALOOSA AREA SOMETIME BETWEEN 4:30 AND 5:30 TODAY. BIRMINGHAM, PROBABLY 5:30 TO 7 O'CLOCK. ANNISTON, GADSTON 6 1:30, 7 O'CLOCK. MAYBE 7:30. THAT'S A TIMELINE. I'M VERY ENCOURAGED WE HAVE NOT HAD THAT MANY TORNADO REPORTS TODAY. KEEP IN MIND WITH HOW THIS LEVEL III OUT OF 5 ENHANCED RISK. TYPICALLY IN THOSE WHO EXPECT A NUMBER OF TORNADOES. WE HAVEN'T HAD THAT MANY TODAY. THE THING HAS BEEN AN FAIRLY STABLE AIR MOUSE. I WANT TO SHOW THIS LARGE PICTURE. YOU CAN SEE THERE'S NOT ONE WARNING THE WHOLE STATE. NOT IGNORING UOFU'RE IN BIRMINGHAM OR ANNISTON OR GADSDEN. OR EVEN TUSCALOOSA.HERE'S NOTHING SEVERE NEAR YOU AT THIS POINT. THERE'S ONE STORM ON THE BOARD. IT'S THAT ONE. LET'S GO BACK IN. WE WILL TAKE A CLOSER LOOK AT THIS AND THIS ROTATION IS COMING UP ON US 82. IN PICKENS COUNTY. REALLY, WAS HAD NO REPORTS FROM ANIMATE IN PICKENS COUNTY. THE WEATHER SERVICE NO REPORTS OF DAMAGE. NO REPORTS ON THE TWEETER IN THE FACE BAG AND ON THE SOCIAL MEDIA FORMS. THAT'S GREAT NEWS. THE SIGNATURE LOOKED PRETTY IMPRESSIVE EARLIER. COMING UP INTO THE SOUTHWESTERN PART OF THE COUNTY. THE CIRCULATION IS MUCH MORE BROAD. AGAIN LIKE TAYLOR TALKED ABOUT, EVIDENCE OF STRONG WINDS UP HERE IN THE NORTHEASTERN CORNER OF PICKENS COUNTY. THIS IS TUSCALOOSA COUNTY AND THIS IS PICKENS. THAT'S CIRCULATION THAT'S A PRETTY GORDO. REFORM, THE CIRCULATION IS GOING TO BE PRETTY FAR TO THE WEST OF IO. AGAIN THAT CIRCULATION IS GOING TO BE CUTTING ACROSS, BASICALLY STEWING RIGHT NOW. WE BEAT NEAR OR WEST OF GORDO. UNDERSTAND THE CIRCULATION IS A BIT BROADER ON RADAR. THAT DOESN'T CHANGE HOW YOU REACT TO THIS. YOU WILL HEAR US SEE FROM TIME TO TIME PER THE CIRCULATION LOOKS BROAD. DOES IT LOOK AS IMPRESSIVE. IF THAT WARNING IS IN EFFECT NEAR THE POLYGON YOU RESPECT THE POLYGON AND YOU STAY IN YOUR SHELTER. UNTIL THE WARNING IS CANCELED OR UNTIL THE WARNING EXPIRES. HERE'S HER NEW TORNADO WATCH . THIS IS COULD BE EFFECTIVE UNTIL 9 O'CLOCK TONIGHT. THIS BASICALLY INCLUDES MUCH OF NORTH-CENTRAL ALABAMA. REVENUE TORNADO WATCH AND THIS WILL INCLUDE BIRMINGHAM, ANNISTON, GADSTON, ASHLAND, SYLACAUGA, ROCKFORD, CLANTON, MARION, BRENT, UTAH, WEISS LAKE, CHEROKEE COUNTY CARE, CLEBURNE COUNTY, HEFLIN. ALL THE COUNTIES BELOW. THIS NEW EXTENSION OF THE WATCH IS IN EFFECT UNTIL 9 O'CLOCK TONIGHT. THIS IS A TORNADO WATCH. AGAIN, IT'S NOT A PERFECT TYPE SET UP FOR TORNADOES. LOTTA THINGS ARE IN PLACE FOR TORNADOES. SO WE'VE GOT TO BE ON OUR GUARD AND WAS GONNA WATCH EVERY STORM CAREFULLY AS THEY COME THROUGH. WERE GONNA DO THAT FOR YOU. NOTICE WITHIN THIS LARGE MARCH. 2 DISTINCT WATCHES. THE ONE ON THE WESTERN SIDE OF THE STATE WAS TO BRAND HIM UNTIL 4. I THINK MAYBE THIS REPLACES THE WHOLE THING TAYLOR. ONE WAY OR THE OTHER. WE'VE GOT A TORNADO WATCH UNTIL 9. THAT'S YOU NEED TO KNOW. THE ONE WARNING ON THE BOARD IS A WARNING HERE FOR PICKENS COUNTY. WE WANT TO SHOW YOU THAT NOW WE HAVE PRETTY GOOD CHUNK OF NORTH-CENTRAL ALABAMA UNDER A 20 TO WATCH. THIS IS THE CURRENT EVIDENCE OF A TORNADO WHICH IS VERY CLOSE TO GORDO. MAYBE JUST WEST OF DOWNTOWN GORDO. IT'S AWFULLY CLOSE. YOU'VE GOT TO STAY SHELTERED. AGAIN THIS COULD BE CROSSING OVER INTO THE NORTHWEST PART OF TASK LIST COUNTY. THIS IS HIGHWAY 171 RIGHT HERE. THIS IS A ROAD THAT RUNS FROM NORTHPORT BACKUP TOWARDS FAYETTE. YOU'VE GOT BROWNSVILLE RIGHT HERE. AGAIN, EVERYONE I HAVE HIGHWAY 171 BE AWARE OF THAT. WE WILL SEE WHAT THE WEATHER SERVICE IS DONE WITH US. WE HAVE NO REPORTS FROM PICKENS COUNTY THAT'S ENCOURAGING. MAYBE SOMETHING HAS HAPPENED BUT WE HAVEN'T HEARD ABOUT IT. THE EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT OF PICKENS COUNTY THEY REPORTED NO DAMAGE. SOCIAL MEDIA NOT SEEN ANY REPORTS OF DAMAGE FROM PICKENS COUNTY. TYPICALLY IF SOMETHING'S HAPPENED WE WILL FIND OUT ABOUT IT QUICK. SO FAR SO GOOD. THE CIRCULATION DOES LOOK RELATIVELY BROAD. ON RADAR THERE GORDO. AS LONG AS YOU SEE THAT FLASHING RED ON THESE MAPS, THAT MEANS THERE IS A TORNADO WARNING POLYGON THAT IS ACTIVE AND YOU SHOULD RESPECT THAT. WE HAVE A TORNADO WARNING FOR THE NORTHWESTERN CORNER OF TUSCALOOSA. SO LET ME STRESS HERE. THIS IS JUST A SMALL PART OF TUSCALOOSA COUNTY. IT'S FOR THIS ROTATION FENCE NEAR GORDO. THAT'S GOING TO BE MOVING UP THROUGH NORTHERN TUSCALOOSA COUNTY. THE CITY OF TUSCALOOSA IS DOWN HERE. OKAY? FAR, FAR SOUTH OF THIS ROTATION. SOME OF THE OLDER LEGACY WARNING SYSTEMS WILL SOUND COUNTYWIDE. BUT, THIS IS YOUR NEW POLYGON RIGHT HERE. THIS IS FOR MORE THAN TUSCALOOSA COUNTY. SAMANTHA, RIGHT HERE. NORTHSIDE HIGH SCHOOL. WALKER ELEMENTARY SCHOOL. WINDHAM SPRINGS UP HIGHWAY 69 IS RIGHT HERE. WE'VE BEEN A 2000 FOOT TOWER THAT SITS OVER HERE. THIS IS HIGHWAY 171. BROWNSVILLE IS LOCATED RIGHT THERE. MOORE'S BRIDGE. IF YOU'RE IN ANY OF THESE COMMUNITIES UP HIGHWAY 171 AND HIGHWAY 43, HE WAS 43 UP HIGHWAY ON THEM 69. YOU WANT BE SHELTERED FROM THIS POSSIBLE TORNADO THAT IS NEAR GORDO AND PICKENS COUNTY. I STRESS, THIS DOES NOT INCLUDE THE CITY OF TUSCALOOSA. IF YOU'RE IN . IF YOU IN TUSCALOOSA, NORTH PORT, ON THE UNIVERSITY OF ALABAMA YOU WILL NOT HAVE TO DO ANYTHING. TUSCALOOSA IS DOWN HERE. >> HE TORNADIC PASS IS 20 MILES NORTH OF DOWNTOWN TUSCALOOSA. YOU DON'T NEED TO DO ANYTHING. THERE'S STILL SOME CONFUSION ABOUT HOW WE ISSUE WARNINGS. YEARS AGO, WE WENT TO THESE GEOMETRIC SHAPES, POLYGONS, TORNADOES ARE SMALL, COUNTIES ARE HUGE. YOU DON'T HAVE TO WARN AN ENTIRE COUNTY. CRESCENT IS ONE OF THE LARGEST COUNTIES IN THE STATE. AND SHOULD CERTAINLY TO DON'T HAVE TO DO ANYTHING IN VANCE, OR COLING, AND THIS CLIPS THE FAR NORTHERN PART OF LAKE TUSCALOOSA AS WHEN. THIS IS A TORNADO WARNING FOR THE NORTHERN PART OF TUSCALOOSA COUNTY. AND AGAIN, THIS IS GOING TO INCLUDE UP HIGHWAY 171, UP NORTH OF TUSCALOOSA COUNTY HIGH SCHOOL. U.S. 43. THE LAKE IS RIGHT HERE. YOU SEE THE NORTHERN PART OF LAKE TUSCALOOSA FROM THE BRIDGE UP NORTH TOWARD THE FAYETTE COUNTY LINE, AND ALABAMA 69 IS RIGHT HERE, WYNDHAM SPRINGS IS LOCATED HERE. THERE'S THE POSSIBLE TORNADIC CIRCULATION NEAR GORDO. WE CANNOT GIVE YOU IS THE ALL CLEAR IN GORDO OR ANY PARTS OF PICKENS COUNTY, THE DANGER HAS ENDED FOR YOU. IF YOU IN REFORM, YOU ARE NOT IN THE POLYGON, AND IF YOU ARE IN GORDO ARE THE TORNADIC CIRCULATION IS MOVING AWAY FROM YOU UP INTO NORTH EARN TUSCALOOSA COUNTY. I DON'T THINK THAT WE HAVE THE WYNDHAM SPRINGS SKYCAM UP. I DON'T THINK THAT IT'S WORKING, WE HAVE A CAMERA ON ONE OF ARE OUR 2,000 FOOT CAMERAS. >> EVEN IF IT WAS WORKING YOU CAN'T SEE ANYTHING, BUT GRAY, WE CAN'T SHOW YOU A LOT OF THAT BECAUSE OF THAT. TAYLOR IS HIGH LATING THESE MAJOR ROUTES IN NORTH TUSCALOOSA COUNTY. THAT'S ALABAMA HIGHWAY 171. THAT'S HOW MOST PEOPLE GO FROM TUSCALOOSA TO FAYETTE. U.S. 43, AND YOU'VE GOT THE TOWN OF SAMANTHA RIGHT HERE. NORTH SIDE HIGH SCHOOL SITS HERE IN MY FINGER, AND THIS IS AS HIGHWAY 69. WYNDHAM SPRINGS. THIS IS THE WALKER COUNTY LINE, AND IF THIS THING MOVES TOGETHER, IT END UP MOVING INTO SOUTHERN WALKER COUNTY. >> THAT IS DAY WHERE WE DON'T EXPECT REALLY LONG TRACK TORNADOES. WE MIGHT HAVE ONE, BUT WE ARE NOT REALLY EXPECTING THAT. >> WE ARE IN A SITUATION WHERE WE MANY PROBABLY HAVE TORNADOES THAT SPINUP. THEY CYCLE DOWN, THEY CAN SPIN UP AGAIN. WE WILL PUT SOME OF THE APPROXIMATE ARRIVAL TIMES. TAYLOR HAS THIS THING MOVING AT 6, 5. FLYING ALONG VERY RAPIDLY >> AGAIN, YOU CAN SEE NEW LEXINGTON, NEAR THE FAY THE COUNTY LINE. >> AND NEW LEXINGTON NEXT TO THE POLYGON, AND THE TOWN OF SAMANTHA RIGHT HERE AT 417 RIGHT NOW, IT'S 403. >> THAT WILL GIVE YOU ABOUT 14, 15 MINUTES TO GET INTO A SAFE PLACE IN SAMANTHA, FOR THOSE OF YOU IN A POLYGON HERE. YOU DO NOT WANT TO BE IN A CAR, AND IF YOU ARE LISTENING TO US BY RADIO IN TUSCALOOSA. WE HAVE GREAT RADIO PARTNERS IN CRESCENT, 95 POINT NIKOS THE BEAR, IF YOU IN TUSCALOOSA, AND YOU NEED TO DRIVE NORTH. DON'T DO THAT. YOU NEED TO STOP, AND WAIT. JUST BE PATIENT, AND WAIT UNTIL THIS THING PASSES. >> BUT WE DON'T WANT ANYBODY DRIVING UP NORTH UP HIGHWAY 171, UP U.S. 43. UP ALABAMA 69 OUT OF NORTH PORT FOR ABOUT THE NEXT 30 MINUTES. YOU DON'T WANT TO BE IN A CAR. >> A CAR IS THE WORST POSSIBLE PLACE TO BE, AND A MOBILE HOME IS A HORRIBLE PLACE TO BE. YOU HAVE TO BE OUT OF A TRAILER HOME IF YOU LIVE IN ONE IN NORTHERN TUSCALOOSA COUNTY. AND YOU NEED TO GO TO EITHER YOUR DESIGNATED COMMUNITY SHELTER, OR AGAIN, SOME TYPE OF SITE BUILT STRUCTURE. >> THIS CAN BE JUST A GAS STATION, A RESTAURANT, A FAST FOOD PLACE, ANYTHING THAT WOULD OFFER PROTECTION, BUT YOU CAN'T STAY IN A MOBILE HOME DURING A TORNADO WARNING POLYGON, AND THAT'S THE CALL TO ACTION FOR NORTHERN CRESCENT COUNTY. >> WE'VE SEEN AN INCREASE IN THE NUMBER OF LIGHTNING STRIKES. DEW POINTS ARE HIGHER HERE, THE DEW POINTS ARE IN THE MIDDLE 60S, WHICH REPRESENTS UNSTABLE AIR, WHICH IS SOMETHING THAT YOU NEED FOR SEVERE WEATHER, AND THE AIR IS MUCH MORE UNSTABLE ON THE WESTERN SIDE YOU HAVE THE STATE. STORMS ON THE EASTERN SIDE NOT AS LIKELY TO PRODUCE A TORNADO. BETTER DYNAMIC, CONDITIONS ARE MORE FAVORABLE ON THE WEST TURN SIDE OF THE STATE. THE CITY OF TUSCALOOSA DOWN HERE. A POSSIBLE TORNADOS COMING UP THROUGH THE NORTHERN PART OF THE COUNTY. >> A LOT OF PEOPLE LISTENING BY RADIX, AND WE WILL DO OUR BEST TO BE AS DESCRIPTIVE AS POSSIBLE, AND FOR THOSE OF YOU THAT ARE ASKING, REMEMBER THAT IF YOU ARE NOT LISTENING TO US ON THE RADIO, WITH OUR RADIO PARTNERS, YOU CAN WATCH US. WE ARE FREE OVER THE AIR. >> A LOT OF YOUNGER PEOPLE DON'T KNOW THAT ABOUT LOCAL TELEVISION. WE ARE STREAMING ON ABC 33/40'S FACEBOOK PAGE, AND ON OUR YOU TUBE CHANNEL THAT WILL GIVE YOU OPTIONS, AND IF YOU HAVE A ROKU, OR SOME TOP BOX, AND YOU PREFER TO WATCH STREAMING, YOU CAN DO THAT ON FACEBOOK WATCH OR ON YOU TUBE. WE HAVE PRETPRETTY STRONG WINDS UP HERE, COMING THROUGH NORTHERN TUSCALOOSA COUNTY. RIGHT UP THROUGH HERE, WE'VE HAD EVIDENCE OF TIGHT CIRCULATION. >> I WANT TO STRESS IF YOU ARE IN PICKENS COUNTY THE DANGER IS OVER. >> I KNOW THAT YOU STILL HAVE A SMALL POLYGON. THAT WILL VANISH IN A SECOND. DANGER FOR PICKENTION COUNTY HAS ENDED. WE HAVE A TORNADO WARNING IN EFFECT. THE WEATHER SERVICE JUST OFFICIALLY CANCELLED THAT WARNING FOR PICKENS AS THE CIRCULATION IS EXCLUSIVELY IN TUSCALOOSA. >> AND U.S. 82 IS DOWN HERE, THIS IS COKER, BUEHL, AND HOLY ROD. AND WHAT YOU HAVE YOU, AND I HEARD THAT PRODUCER, THAT IS NOT IN THE POLYGON, SO WE ARE NOT GOING TO TAKE THAT ARE WE ARE LOOKING FOR VIDEO THAT WOULD BE WITHIN THE POLYGON AREA IN NORTHERN TUSCALOOSA COUNTY, U.S. 82 IN TUSCALOOSA COUNTY YOU ARE FIND, IF YOU NEED TO TRAVEL FROM NORTH PORT ALL THE WAY OVER FOR PICKENS COUNTY, THE RAIN IS TER TERRIBLE, BUT I AM TALKING TORNADO DANGER, WE HAVE BROAD CIRCULATION, AND THE CIRCULATION DOES LOOKS PRETTY BROAD. WE HAVE BROAD CIRCULATION THAT IS IN THE FAR NORTHWESTERN PART OF TUSCALOOSA COUNTY COMING UP ON HIGHWAY 171. IT CAN TIGHTEN UP IN A HEARTBEAT. >> AGAIN, HIGHWAY 171, I WOULD SAY IN TERMS OF DRIVING, NOBODY SHOULD BE ON ALABAMA 171 FROM TUSCALOOSA COUNTY HIGH SCHOOL TO THE FAYETTE COUNTY LINE, AND THEN IN TERMS OF U.S. 40 LEE FROM COUNTY HIGH BACK UP TO THE FAYETTE COUNTY LINE. WYNDHAM SPRINGS, YOU SHOULD BE SHELT SEVERALED AS WELL. THE TORNADO WARNING FOR NORTHERN TUSCALOOSA COUNTY. >> THIS IS THE ONLY WARNING IN THE STATE. YOU SAY THAT WE ARE NOT SHOWING YOUR TOWN, BECAUSE THERE'S NO SEVERE WEATHER THERE. WE HAVE TO FOCUS ON LIFE THREATENING STORMS. THE TORNADO WARNING, AND WE HAVE A NEW TORNADO FOR PARTS OF FAYETTE, TUSCALOOSA, AND WALKER. THIS IS FOR A SEPARATE CIRCULATION THAT IS LOCATED NEAR BARRY. SEVEN MILES SOUTH OF BEAR, AND AGAIN, THIS IS YOUR NEW POLYGON RIGHT HERE. >> AND THEY BELIEVE THAT THERE COULD BE EVIDENCE OF A TORNADO, WE HAVE TWO DISTINCT POLYGONS FOR TWO SEPARATE CIRCUMSTANCES, I KNOW WHEN YOU START TO SEE ALL OF THIS FLASHING IT CAN BE KAY ON THE HE CAN, WE HAVE TWO AREAS OF ROTATION THAT THE WEATHER SERVICE IS CONCERNED ABOUT, THIS NORTHERN MOST POLYGON CONCERNS THE CITY OF BARRY, IN WALKER COUNTY, THIS WILL INCLUDE JASPER, CORDOVA, DUMMY TON, SIPSEY, AND EMPIRE, AND IF YOU IN ANY OF THOSE COMMUNITIES WE CALLED OUT IN FAYETTE COUNTY BE AWARE THAT THERE IS A NEW TORNADO WARNING IN EFFECT FOR YOU. CORDOVA IS HERE, THIS IS INTERSTATE 22, OAKMAN, THAT IS YOUR NEW TORNADO WARNING POLYGON. WE HAVE TWO DISTICK WARNINGS. >> INTERSTATE 22 THAT TAYLOR IS HIGHLIGHTING. NOBODY SHOULD BE ALONG INTERSTATE 22, FROM THE JEFFERSON COUNTY AND COUNTY LINE, AND NO ONE SHOULD BE UP ON OLD HIGHWAY 78, FROM THE COUNTY LINE, FROM THE GREEN TOP BARBECUE, BACK UP TOWARDS JASPER. YOU SHOULDN'T BE DRIVING HERE. >> SIPSEY, CORE DOVER A, SUMITON, OAKMAN, PARISH, IF YOU ARE IN THESE AREAS, WE HAVE A POSSIBLE TORNADIC ACTION COMING YOUR WAY. >> IS THIS COLUMBUS OR BIRMINGHAM >> THIS IS COLUMBUS >> WE WILL SEE WHAT THAT LOOKED LIKE COMING FROM A DIFFERENT AN APRILING RANG LE, THE WIND VELOCITIES ARE PRETTY HIGH. WE HAVE A SECOND CIRCULATION, AND TAYLOR IS HIGH LATING SOME OF THESE COMMUNITIES, AND IF WE ARE CIRCLING ANYWHERE CLOSE TO WHERE YOU LIVE, AND YOU ARE IN ANY MANY OF THOSE POLYGON, ON A DAY LIKE TODAY, THE ENCOURAGE IS FOR YOU TO HELPINOUS THE WARNIN PROCESS. >> A LOT OF PEOPLE IN THESE WARNING POLYGONSES THEY HAVE NO EARTHLY IDEA. >> THERE ARE A LOT OF PEOPLE DRIVING AROUND IN DOWNTOWN JASPER. >> THERE'S NO IDEA THAT WE HAVE A CHANCE OF BAD WEATHER, WE ARE BUSY, AND THEY ARE NOT WEATHER DWEEBS, OR DO,S, AND THEY DON'T HAVE A LOT OF TIME TO WORRY ABOUT THE WEATHER, AND THEY ARE NOT WATCHING OR LISTENING TO OUR RADIO PARTNERS, AND IF YOU CAN CALL OR TEXT THEM IF THEY ARE IN ANY OF THESE PLACES TO LET THEM KNOW THAT YOU NEED TO PAY ATTENTION TO THE WEATHER, TURN US, AND WE WILL TAKE CARE OF THEM, BUT THEY'VE GOT TO KNOW TO DO THAT. A LOT OF THESE FOLKS DON'T HAVE A WEATHER RADIO, THEY DON'T HAVE THEIR PHONES, APPS TURNED OFF. HELP US IN THE WARNING PROCESS. >> IT'S CALLED THE BE A HERO CAMPAIGN YOU CAN REALLY HELP US, AND CLEARLY HELP IN THE LIFE SAVING PROCESS OF HOW THIS WHOLE THING WORKS. >> AGAIN, THE LEAD SYSTEM, THE LEAD TORNADO WARNING, THIS IS FOR WALKER COUNTY, AND EXTREME TORNADOS COUNTY. >> THIS INCLUDES BARRY, THAT TORNADIC CIRCULATION IS KIND OF HUGGING THE CRESCENT FAYETTE COUNTY LINE, WHICH IS RIGHT HERE, AND AGAIN BARRY IS HERE, THAT'S IN FAYETTE COUNTY. >> THAT'S GOING TO BECOMING RIGHT UP THE SHOOT HERE CROSSING OVER AROUND CORONA, AND THEN CROSSING UP TOWARD OAKMAN, AND CROSSING UP HERE TOWARD CORE DOVER, AND THE INTERSTATE 22 CORRIDOR, IF YOU LIVE IN ANY OF THESE PLACES THAT WE ARE TALKING ABOUT, YOU HAVE TO BE SHELTERED, AND THE NORTHERN CRESCENT COUNTY STORM, THAT ONE IS NOT AS WELL DEFINED, AND IT SEEMS LIKE THIS IS BECOMING THE DOMINANT CIRCULATION RIGHT NOW. AGAIN, REMEMBER, UNTIL THESE THINGS ARE CANCELLED OR UNTIL THEY GO AWAY, YOU NEED TO STAY SHELTERED. YOU RESPECT THE POLYGON THAT'S WHY WE SAY IT. THERE'S A MEANING BEHIND IT. >> IT'S IMPORTANT TO REMEMBER THAT THESE DAYS. >> AND WE HAVE BROAD BAD WARNING, UP TOWARDS SAMANTHA, IN TUSCALOOSA COUNTY. >> POTENTIAL FOR A TORNADO IS THERE, YOU NEED TO BE SHEMENTDERED, UP THROUGH ALL 69, AND THIS CONTINUES TO TIGHTEN UP THE CIRCULATION HERE NEAR THE FAYETTE TUSCALOOSA COUNTY LINE, THIS IS BARRY, AND THAT'S WHY YOU HAVE JASPER, CORDOVA, PARISH, AND FOR THAT NORTHERN CIRCULATION IN THIS POLYGON. AND THIS IS GOING TO BE ONE OF THESE FRUSTRATING DAYS. I KNOW THAT YOU WILL WATCH TV OUT OF NEBRASKA, AND KANSAS, AND THEY SHOW THESE BEAUTIFUL FUNNEL CLOUDS SEEN FROM MILES AWAY. THIS AIN'T KANSAS, THIS IS AS. YOU CAN'T SEE THEY WILL. THEY ARE RAIN-WRAPPED, THERE'S NO VISIBILITY. WE'VE LEARNED FROM SOCIAL SCIENCE STUDIES, IT'S AWFULLY HARD FOR PEOPLE TO DO SOMETHING WHEN THEY WATCH RADAR. THEY JUST SEE A BUCKET OF SPILLED PAINT. I AM ASKING YOU TO PAY ATTENTION TO THE CALLED FOR ACTION. WHETHER EVERYTHING BEING RAIN-WRAPPED, AND IF YOU SEE YOUR TOWN SHOWING UP HERE, OR YOU ARE IN ONE OF THESE POLYGONS, NO MOBILE HOMES, NO CARS. YOU NEED TO BE IN A SITE BUILT HOUSE, IN A SMALL BATHROOM ON THE LOWEST FLORA WAY FROM WINDOWS, NEAR THE CENTER. APPROXIMATE ARRIVAL TIMES. OAKMAN, 42024. BOLLING, SPRINGS LOCATED RIGHT HERE, IT TOOK A ROUGH HIT APRIL 27, '20 LEARN. THEY'VE HAD A HISTORY OF TORNADO IN THROUGH HERE, THAT IS A GOOD SIGNATURE. >> THAT IS THE MOST VIOLENT SAYING IS THAT WE'VE SEEN ON RADAR TODAY IN OUR PART OF THE STATE, AND THAT TORNADOES I CAN CIRCULATION WILL BE COMING UP ACROSS PARTS OF PAY YET COUNTY, CORONA, BACK UP TOWARD OAKMAN, AND PARISH, AND PROBABLY STAYING A LITTLE SOUTH OF JASPER. BUT JASPER YOU IN THE POLYGON. IF YOU ARE IN THE CITY OF JASPER, YOU HAVE TO BE SHELTERED AS WITH WELL. >> UP TOWARDS SIPSEY, AND EMPIRE, THAT MIGHT AFFECT PARTS OF BLOUNT OR SOUTHERN CULLMAN COUNTIES AS WELL. THIS SECOND CIRCULATION IS THIS ONE HERE. >> IT IS MORE BROAD IN NATURE, BUT STILL THERE'S NEAR SAMANTHA U.S. HIGHWAY 43, TOWARDS WYNDHAM STRINGS TOWARDS ALABAMA 69 RIGHT HERE. SO WE HAVE TWO DISTINCT TORNADO WARNING POLYGONS, ONE FOR EASTERN FAYETTE COUNTY, AND WALKER COUNTY, AND THE FAR FAR NORTHERN PART OF TUSCALOOSA COUNTY, AND STILL NO DAMAGE REPORTS. TAYLOR THAT'S THE GOOD THING. >> I'VE SEEN NOTHING HERE >> SO FAR, NO DAMAGE REPORTS. >> I TAKE THAT BACK, THERE HAS BEEN A REPORT OF DAMAGE TO A BARN ROOF, IN LAMB MARCH COUNTY. THAT WOULD HAVE BEEN THE FIRST TORNADO WARNING THAT WE WERE TALKING ABOUT. THERE WAS SOME DAMAGE TO A BARN ROOF. SO THAT WAS A WHILE AGO I WOULD SAY WITHIN THE LAST TEN MINUTES OR SORRY, WE HAVE NOT SEEN ANY REPORTS OF DAMAGE. >> WHAT I DO WANT TO POINT OUT IS THAT THAT NORTHERN CIRCULATION LOOKS LIKE IT'S TIGHTENING UP A BIT I AM MANY MONITORING IT ON OTHER RADAR SITES. IT LOOKS LIKE IT'S GETTING A LITTLE BETTER STRUCTURE. THAT WOULD TELL US THAT THAT'S A POSSIBILITY THAT THIS IS STRENGTH GO HE A LITTLE BIT. YOU SHOULD BE IN YOUR SAFE PLACE. WE WILL GET THROUGH IT TOGETHER. BUT WHAT WE WANT TO SHOW YOU IS THAT WHERE WE HAVE THESE REDS AND THESE GREENS HERE, THAT'S AND ONE OF OF THE TIGHTER CIRCUMSTANCE CLASSES THAT WE'VE SEEN SO FAR TODAY. ESPECIALLY WHEN I PUT IT INTO THE BASE VELOCITY MODE HERE. YOU SEE THE BRIGHT GREEN COMING INTO CONTACT WITH THE RED, THAT'S SHOWING US A TIGHT ROTATION, THAT'S GOING IN THE GENERAL DIRECTION OF OAKMAP, AND PARISH, GOING ACROSS I TWENTY TWO NEAR CORE DOVE AND HOLDS TOGETHER NEAR SIPSEY AFTER THAT, AND MOVING ALONG I TWENTY TWO, AND ALONG HIGHWAY FIVE. THIS IS GOING TO CROSS OVER SIXTY NINE. BUT I WANT TO PAUL STORM TRACK. THESE ARE REALLY MOVING QUICKLIED TO. THESE ARE HIGHWAY SPEEDS. THIS IS WHAT YOU DRIVE ON THE HIGHWAY. 65 MILES PER HOUR IS NOT A LOT OF TIME, WHICH JAMES HAS BEEN TALKING ABOUT, WHO IS IN AND OUT OF THE POLYGON FOR QUITE SOME TIME. IF YOU HAVE NOT MADE THAT TRIP DOWN TO YOUR SAFE PLACE, OR WHEREVER YOUR SAFE PLACE IS. YOU HAVE TO BE THERE ESPECIALLY IN OF IF YOU ARE IN PARISH, BOLDO, OR SIPSEY. THIS IS WHEN YOU SHOULD GO TO THAT CENTER OF CIRCULATION IN YOUR LOCATION. >> WE ARE TALKING 4:25 IN OAKAND, WE ARE LOOKING AT MARIETTA COMMUNITY, 4:25 AS WELL, KINGS MILL 4:20 CERTAIN. IF THIS HOLDS TOGETHER, IT WILL EVENTUALLY BE APPROACHING I 65. AT THIS POINT, THE WARNING HAS NOT BEEN EXTENDED, BUT LOOK NOW WITHIN THAT LAST RADAR SCAN, AN OCCASION THAT THIS IS HOLDING FAIRLY GOOD STRUCTURE HERE. SO WHAT I MANY GOING DO IS CHECK THIS RADAR HERE ON MY PHONE, AT THIS POINT, I AM NOT SEEING -- >> I WILL SAY, I'VE SCANNED A LOT, AND I'VE SEEN NO DAMAGE REPORTS. TAYLOR, WHICH IS GOOD. WE MIGHT HAVE SOME. BUT I HAVE A HE NOT SEEN ANY, I'VE'S GOT A WHOLE BUNCH OF PEOPLE THAT FOLLOW ME ON THE SOCIAL MEDIA CHANNELS, AND IT UP CLIP IF THE TREE LITTLE BLOWS DOWN WE WILL KNOW ABOUT IT, AND WE DON'T SEE ANYTHING AT THIS POINT WHICH IS GREAT NEWS. DAY IS YOUNG, AND WE HAVE TO GET THROUGH THE EVENING. >> SO TAYLOR IS HIGHLIGHTING WHAT COULD BE A TORNADO DOWN. >> THIS IS THE COMMUNITY. >> WE HAVE A TDS, NOW. >> WE ARE SEEING DEBRIS BEING LOTTED YOU. THIS IS THE RADAR TELLING US THAT THERE'S SOMETHING ABOUT THE SECOND OH,S, THE WAY THAT TECH OH,S, WORK THAT BOUNCE I'VE ELECTROMAGNETIC ENERGY, OFF OBJECTS, AND THEN DON'T CORRELATE WITH EVERYTHING ELSE. AND THE LOWERED CC, MEANS THAT IT IS NOT RAIN OR SNOW OR ICE OR SLEET. IT'S SOMETHING DIFFERENT. >> IT'S TREE LIMBS. AND IN THIS CASE, IT'S MOST LIKELY PARTS OF TREES, OR TREE LIMBS BECAUSE IT'S OVER A FAIRLY SPARSELY POPULATED AREA. WE HAVE A TORNADO THAT IS DOWN, VERY STRONG EVIDENCE OF THAT. >> AND AGAIN, LET ME KIND OF READ WHAT THE WEATHER SERVICE IS SAYING NOW, BASED ON THAT TDS, A TORNADO DEBRIS SIGNATURE. WE HAVE A CONFIRMED LARGE, AND EXTREME SLIT DANGEROUS TORNADO NEAR BOLEY, SPRINGS. >> THIS IS WELL EAST OF FAYETTE. THIS IS MOVING TOWARDS THE NORTHEAST AT 55 MILES PER HOUR. AN EXTREMELY GANG RUST STORM. IF YOU ARE ANYWHERE NEAR BOLEY SPRINGS YOU SHOULD HAVE BEEN SHELTERED 20 MINUTES AGO. THIS CREATES A MORE. >> ANYBODY NEAR BOLEY SPRINGS OR OAKMAN, HAS TO BE WHERE YOU ARE LOCATED. OAK MAN IS ON HIGHWAY 69 YOU CAN NOT BE IN A HOME OR A MOBILE HOME TO BE SAFE. YOU NEED TO GET YOURSELF OUT OF THE MOBILE HOME IF YOU CAN, AND HOPEFULLY YOU ARRANGED TRANSPORTATION EARLIER TODAY. GO TO SOME GAS STATION. >> A SITE BUILT HOME. A NEIGHBOR, THAT HAS A SITE BUILT HOME THAT OFFER YOU PROTECTION, PEOPLE ARE MOSTLY WILLING TO DO THAT. THERE'S SOME GOOD PEOPLE THAT LIVE HERE. BUT YOU CANNOT STAY IN A MOBILE HOME IN A SITUATION LIKE THIS. >> EVERYTHING IN LIFE IS A DECISION. YOU MAKE GOOD ONES, AND BAD ONCE, AND IT'S NOT WORTH MAKING BAD ONE HERE, IN TERMS OF DRIVING IN A TORNADO SITUATION. WE HAVE STRONG EVIDENCE OF A TORNADOS DOWN, DEBRIS THAT IS BEING LOFTED HERE, PASSING JUST SOUTH OF THE COMMUNITY OF BOLEY SPRINGS. AND SOMETIMES THE STORMS ARE TILTED AND THAT WILL BE MOVING NORTHEAST, CROSSING OUT OF FAYETTE COUNTY INTO WALKER COUNTY, AND BOWL I HAS BEEN THROUGH THESE BEFORE. AND YOU KNOW THE DRILL. OAKMAN, IS HERE ALONG HIGHWAY 18, IN THE FAR WESTERN PART OF WALKER COUNTY, AND THIS IS PARISH, AND THE TWO MORE SAYSABLE OF THESE WOULD BE OAKMAN, AND PARISH. YOU HAVE TO BE IN A SAFE PLACE. AND THIS CC, IS IN FIREFIGHTERS MOVING NORTHEAST WITH THAT. THIS CALL TO ACTION FOR WALKER COUNTY. THE WEATHER SERVICE IS CALLING THIS A CONFIRMED, LARGE, AND EXTREMELY DANGEROUS TORNADO OVER ON BOLEY SPRINGS MOVING FROM FIREFIGHTERS INTO WALKER COUNTY, AND YOU HAVE TO BE IN A SAFE PLACE, THAT WILL BE CROSSING HIGHWAY SIX NINE. >> BACK TOWARDS BARRY, AND GOES UP TO JASPER. THIS IS HIGHWAY TWO SIXTY NINE RIGHT HERE THAT GOES THROUGH PARISH. SO NOBODY TRAVELING ON 269, AND THAT'S INTERSTATE 22. >> AND IT'S THE SAME CALL. NOBODY SHOULD BE ON INTERSTATE TWENTY TWO IN WALKER COUNTY, BETWEEN THE JEFFERSON COUNTY LINE, AND THE CITY OF JASPER. YOU JUST DON'T WANT TO TAKE THAT CHANCE. >> IF THIS IS AN INDEED A LARGE, AND EXTREMELY A DANGEROUS TORNADOES, SOMETHING LIKE THAT, WILL TAKE A CAR, AND FLIP IT LIKE IT'S A TOY, AND OFTEN YOU CAN'T SURVIVE THAT, ANTSY JUST NOT THAT WORTH THAT. >> AND YOU PULL OVER AT A SPOT ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD WHERE YOU CAN GET INTO A GAS STATION, A RESTAURANT, A FAST FOOD ESTABLISHMENT, WHATEVER YOU'VE GOT THEM WILL LET YOU GET IN THERE, AND STAY SAFE UNTIL THIS PASSES. KEEP IN MIND, THIS IS MOVING AT 55 MILES PER HOUR. THERE ARE NO STOP LIGHTS WITH TORNADOES. IT WILL KEEP ON TRUCK THROUGH THIS QUICKLY. YOU WON'T HAVE TO STAY SIDELINED ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD IN A SAFE PLACE. IF YOU ARE JUST JOINING US HERE. >> IT IS 421 ON THURSDAY AFTERNOON, I'M JAMES SPANN WITH TAYLOR SARALLO, AND WE HAVE A TORNADOES I CAN SITUATION, NEAR BOLEY SPRINGS. FAYETTE IS WAY WAY OFF TO THE WEST. THIS TORNADO IS COMING ACROSS 69, NEAR OAKMAN, AND 269 IN PARISH. WE HAVE TWO DISTINCTIVE WARNING POLYGONS, WE ARE FOCUSING ON THE NORTHERN POLYGON PAUSE THIS IS THE BETTER SIGNATURE HERE. SIGNATURE DOWN HERE IN NORTHERN CRESCENT COUNTY IS VERY BROAD. I WOULD IMAGINE THAT THE WEATHER SERVICE WILL BE LETTING THAT ONE GO OR JUST LET IT EXPIRE AT SOME POINT SOON. >> IT'S JUST VERY BROAD ROTATION. BUT AGAIN, STILL IF YOU ARE IN THIS POLYGON, WILEY, STAY SHELTER. THIS IS THE CONCERN HERE FOR THIS TORNADOES THAT IS ABOUT TO CROSS HIGHWAY 69. >> CLOSE TO OAKMAN, AWFULLY CLOSE TO PARISH, AND THEN INTERSTATE 22, CLOSE TO CORDOVA IN THE TOWN OF BARNIE, AND THAT WILL BE CROSSING ALONG AS 285. AND U.S. OF 78, AWFULLY CLOSE TO THE RIVER, AND SO BARTON'S CHAPEL. ARGO, YOU KNOW THESE PLACES UP HERE. IF YOU ARE IN ANY OF THESE PLACES THAT WE ARE CALLING OUT YOU HAVE TO BE IN A SAFE PLACE NOW. WEAR A HELMET IF YOU CAN. IF YOU ARE IN A SAFE PLACE. WE WANT YOU TO WEAR A BICYCLE, BATTING HELMET. ANYTHING TO PROTECT THE HEAD, NECK, AND SKULL REGION MANY OF THE SEVERE INJURIES COME FROM THAT. WE ARE WATCHING OUR DEBRIS TRACKER, THIS A COEFFICIENT, CORRELATION TRACKER. AND THIS SIGNATURE IS NOT QUITE AS IMPRESSIVE AS IT WAS FIVE MINUTES AGO. IT APPEARS AT LEAST FOR THE TIME BEING, WE ARE NOT SEEING AS STRONG OF AN INDICATION THAT THIS TORNADOES IS ON THE GROUND AT THIS POINT. >> LIKE WE SAULS TALK ABOUT, IT DOESN'T MEAN A COUPLE OF RADAR SCANS THAT IT WON'T DROP AGAIN, AND PRODUCE SOME DAMAGE. >> WE WILL CONTINUE TO TREAT THIS AS A TORNADO ON THE GROUND JUST BECAUSE WE HAVEN'T HAD HAD ENOUGH SCANS HERE WITHOUT IT ON THE GROUND, AND QUITE FRANKLY THE VELOCITY STILL LOOKS PRETTY IMPRESSIVE. THAT'S A TIGHT ROTATION CROSSING OVER INTO WALKER COUNTY FROM FIREFIGHTERS JUST TO THE SOUTH OF OAKMAN. IT WILL CROSS OVER 69, CLOSE TO OAKMAN. >> AND IT IS VERY CLOSE TO BLUE WATER ROAD, THIS CIRCULATION IS GOING TO PASS CLOSE TO YOU. DIXIE SPRINGS ROAD, ERNEST CHAPEL ROAD, MARKET STREET NORTHWEST, NEAR OAKMAN THAT'S ONE OF THE ROADS THAT IS GOING TO BE IN THE PAST OF THIS S MEGYN KELLY HER DOWN, STAY WHERE YOU OF, ITS TEA GOING TO WINDY, LET'S CHANGE CHECK THAT COEFFICIENT CORRELATION AGAIN AND HOPEFULLY WE ARE NOT SHOWING MUCH OF A STRONGING DEBRIS SIGNATURE. THIS WILL BE HEADED IN THE GENERAL DIRECTION SEVOAKMAN CROSSING STATE ROUTE 18 RIGHT WHERE IT MEETS STATE ROUTE 69, AND IT WILL CONTINUE ON ATTRACT TOWARD THE GENERAL DIRECTION OF PARISH, AND BANKHEAD, AND CROSS 269, AND THIS WILL BE PASS TOTH SOUTH OF JASPER, MORE THAN LIKELY. SO AT THIS POINT, I AM NOT SEEING A STRONG OCCASION THAT THIS TORNADO IS CURRENTLY ON THE GROUND. I DON'T HAVE A DEBRIS SIGNATURE TO SEE SHOW YOU. THAT'S GOOD. WE DON'T WANT TO SEE THAT DEER EVER. I DON'T WITH A TO GIVE YOU A BIG PICTURE, WE HAVE TWO TORNADOES WARNINGS, THE REASON WE HAVEN'T BEEN FOCUSING AS MUCH ON THE SOUTH CERTAIN WARNING BECAUSE THE INDICAION OF ROTATION ISN'T AS STRONG. >> IF YOU ARE IN THE WILEY COMMUNITY IS VERY HEAVY RAIN. THERE COULD BE SOME SMALL HAIL WITH THAT AS WELL. SOME HEAVY RAIN NEAR WILEY, IN THE WYNDHAM SPRINGS AREA, ALONG 69. >> IF I PUT ON HERE, THE VELOCITY, YOU WILL SEE THAT IT'S BROAD ROTATION IT IS NOT AS STRONG OF A SIGNATURE. >> BUT WE ARE SEEING THE OCCASION THAT THERE'S PROBABLY SOME STRONG WINDS AS WELL. >> WJLX, 101.5 IN JASPER >> WE HAVE BROAD CIRCULATION, BOTH OF THESE ARE PRETTY BROAD. WE HAVE A CREW ON INTERSTATE 22. THIS IS COMING FROM BILL CASTLE AND STEVEN QUINN WE CAN TAKE THEIR LIVE FEW SHOT COMING FROM INTERSTATE 22. >> AND AGAIN, YOU ARE OBVIOUSLY NOT GOING TO SEE MUCH. THIS IS WHAT YOU GOING TO SEE TODAY WHEN YOUR LOOKING FOR TORNADOES. YOU WILL SEE GRAY SKY AND RAIN. IF WE DO SEE TORNADOES THEY WILL BE RAIN WRAPPED. THIS IS INTERSTATE 22, AND BEFORE YOU GET MAD AT US, THESE TWO GUYS HAVE BEEN TRAINED IN SPOTTING FOR YEARS, BILL CASTLE, I'VE BEEN WITH HIM FOR 30 YEARS. >> HE HAVE UNDERSTANDS SAFETY. IS HE'S BEEN TO SO MANY MANY SPOTTER TRAINING SESSIONS HE CAN TEACH IT. >> THEY ARE SAFE, THEY UNDERSTAND WHERE THE ROTATION IS AND THEY ARE SAFE. >> AN I THOUGHT YOU WERE GIVING ME A HAND SIGNAL. >> A LOT OF PEOPLE GIVE ME HAND SIGNALS IN PUBLIC, AND THEY ARE NOT VERY NICE. >> THIS IS AROUND BARNIE, AND CORDOVA. THAT WAS FROM BILL CASTLE AND STEVEN QUINN. >> IT IS POURING, THE CIRCULATION NEAR OAKMAN IS STILL BROAD. IF YOU ARE STILL IN THE POLYGON. YOU HAVE TO BE SHELTERED. WE HAVE A SIGNATURE, THAT MAY LESS TEN MINUTES, AND GO AWAY AND THEN SPINS BACK UP. IF YOU ARE IN THE POLYGON, RESPECT THE POLYGON. THIS DOES INCLUDE THE CITY OF JASPER, IT INCLUDES CORDOVA, OAKS, PARISH, DORA, SUMITON, SIPSEY, EMPIRE, IS BOLDO, AND IF YOU ARE IN BOLEY SPRINGING IN FIREFIGHTERS. ALL OF FIREFIGHTERS HAS BEEN CLEARED FROM THE WARNING. FIREFIGHTERS WE HAVE NO MORE DANGER HERE. WE HAVE. >> THANK GOD WE HAVE A TORNADO SIGNATURE, IN ANY BROAD SPOT. >> THEY ARE YCLIC, AND UNTIL WE GET THESE WARNINGS CANCELLED, I KNOW THAT IT'S NOT ARE HELPFUL. IT IS NOT THE MOST DELUCK ACCOMMODATIONS BUT BY GOALEE IT SAVE SOMEBODY A LIFE IF YOU IN THOSE. IF IT'S A TORNADO WARNING POLYGON, STAY SHELTERED. >> YOU CAN SEE BROAD CIRCULATION THAT IS SOUTH OF OAKMAN FOR THOSE OF YOU LISTENING IT WILL COMING UP ON SIPSEY, EMPIRE. SOUTHERN MOST BROAD CIRCULATION IS NEAR THE WARRIOR RIVER NEAR THE JEFFERSON COUNTY LINE. AGAIN, WE WILL KEEP AN EYE ON THAT. >> I SAY THAT THE JEFFERSON COUNTY NEAR THE WALKER COUNTY LINE ACTUALLY. BUT BOTH OF THESE ARE AWFULLY BROAD. >> IT LOOKS MORE LIKE A WIND EVENT. >> THERE'S NOT A TORNADO CIRCULATION AT THE MOMENT IN EITHER SPOT. THAT COULD CHANGE, AND THE WEATHER SERVICE MIGHT LET THETHESE GO IF THIS CONTINUES, AND THEY MIGHT REPLACE THE TORNADO WARNINGS WITH SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WARNINGS, AND THE NEWS IS ENCOURAGING AS WE WATCH THE RADAR TRENDS. TAYLOR, YOU WILL SHOW, AREAS OF ARE CONCERN, PICKENS, SUMTER, AND GREENE. THEY DON'T HAVE ANY WARNINGS HERE, BUT THERE COULD BE OTHER TORNADO WARNINGS THIS EVENING FOR OTHER PARTS OF THE STATE. THE AIR IS MORE STABLE DOWN HERE. FARTHER SOUTH YOU GO, THE DEW POINTS ARE HIGHER, THE IN STABILITY VALUES ARE AREA AND WE COULD CERTAINLY SEE A TORNADO DOWN HERE, ON THE SOUTHERN END OF THE LINE. >> IT IS NOT FIGHTING ADJACENT INFLOWS, AND THE WARNINGS IN EFFECT ARE FOR PARTS OF WALKER COUNTY, AND EXTREME TUSCALOOSA COUNTY. >> THIS HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH THE CITY OF TUSCALOOSA, IF YOU IN OAKMAN, OF PARISH, CORDOVA, ARGO, SIPSEY, EMPIRE, DORA, SUMITON, YOU HAVE TO STAY SHELTERED. >> THE I PROMISE THAT THE MINUTE THAT THE WEATHER SERVICE RELEASES THESE WARNINGS. IT LOOKS LIKE THEY HAVE CANCELLED OUR SOUTHERN MOST WARNING. >> THEY'VE CANCELLED THE WARNING FOR TUSCALOOSA COUNTY. >> I THINK THAT'S THE RIGHT THING TO DO. >> SO WE CAN GIVE AN ALL CLEAR TO NORTHEASTERN TUSCALOOSA COUNTY. >> AND WHEN I SAY ALL CLEAR, IT DOESN'T MEAN THAT YOU LOOK UP AND THE SUN IS SHINING, IT MEANS THAT THE DANGER FOR A TORNADO HAS ENDED. THE NORTHERN POLYGON FOR WALKER COUNTY WILL STAY IN PLACE. >> THAT IS SCHEDULED TO STAY IN PLACE UNTIL 5 O'CLOCK THIS AFTERNOON. THAT'S FOR THE NEXT 30 MINUTES. >> THERE'S NO EVIDENCE OF ANY CIRCULATION, TORNADOS I CAN CIRCULATION IN HERE AT THIS POINT. STILL, STAY SHELTERED. >> IF YOU ARE IN THIS POLYGON HERE. >> THAT'S ALABAMA HIGHWAY FIVE. IF YOU DROVE FROM BIRMINGHAM TO JASPER YOU DROVE THAT RHODA BUNCH OF TIMES. THIS IS THE NEW INTERSTATE DOWN TO THE SOUTH. TOWN OF CORDOVA IS HERE, AND PARISH HERE, AND GOOD SPRINGS HERE. AND THAT BROAD BROAD CIRCULATION HAS NOW PASSED OAKMAN. IF YOU IN OAKMAN WE CAN GIVE YOU AN ALL CLEAR WITH THE POSSIBILITY OF A TORNADO AT THIS POINT, IF YOU IN PAIR, SIPSEY, EMPIRE, ARGO, DORA, SUMITON, STAY SHELTERED. DOWNTOWN JASPER IS NOT IN THE POLYGON, YOU ARE SITTING ON THE END OF THAT THING. >> THAT BROAD CIRCULATION WILL LIKELY STAY TO THE SOUTH OF JASPER. STILL, AS LONG AS YOU ARE IN THESE ING RED POLYGONS, THIS ONE IS GOING AWAY, THE WEATHER SERVICE HAS PRETTY MUCH CANCELLED THAT. >> LET ME SHOW A BIG PICTURE, TAYLOR REAL QUICK. MANY IT'S 431. >> WE HAVE A LARGE RAIN MASS OVER THE NORTHERN HALF OF ALABAMA, FOR MOST OF YOU, IT'S JUST RAINING, WE HAVE NO SEVERE WEATHER OVER THE TENHAKEN VALLEY. IT'S RAINING, IN MARION, WINSTON, CULLMAN COUNTIES, YOU JUST DON'T SEE A LOT HAPPENING HERE. BUT WE ARE WATCHING STORMS BACK TO THE SOUTH AND WEST, A FEW STORE, ARE SEVERE HERE, WE DON'T HAVE DON'T SEE ANY TORNADO WARNING POLYGONS COMING OUT OF SOUTH MISSISSIPPI. THE RAIN IS MOVING OUT OF ARE BIRMINGHAM, IT WILL LIKELY AFFECT BIRMINGHAM BY 5 O'CLOCK, FOR ANNISTON, AND GADSDEN, YOU HAVE SOME LIGHT RAIN FALLING. >> AND HEAVIER STORMS WILL ARRIVE THEREAFTER 6 O'CLOCK, AND POURING RAISE IN PARTS OF PICKENS, GREENE, AND TUSCALOOSA MOSTLY LIKE RIGHT. I JUST WANTED TO SHOW THIS BIG PICTURE, AND WE HAVE TO THIS ONE SPOT WHERE WE HAD CIRCULATION, AND IT'S AWFULLY BROAD AT THIS POINT, AND WE WILL GO TO WALKER COUNTY, AND GO BACK TO THE VELOCITY DISPLAY, HERE, AND YOU DON'T SEE A LOT. IT'S NOT A TORNADOES SIGNATURE HERE. >> BUT THAT DOESN'T MEAN THAT YOU CAN COME OUT OF YOUR SAFE PLACE. IF YOU IN POLYGON, YOU STAY THERE UNTIL THE WARNING IS CANCELLED BY THE WEATHER SERVICE IN BIRMINGHAM. WE ARE WATCHING MULTIPLE SOURCES HERE, WE HAVE OUR PEOPLE IN THE FIELD WITH LIVESTSTREAMS. WE HAVE THE SOCIAL MEDIA CHANNELS, WITH EVERYBODY THAT YOU ARE SO HELP IF YOU. BY THE WAY, YOUR PICTURES AND YOUR VIDEO IT'S OUR WINDOW TO THE WORLD. WE DON'T HAVE WINDOWS IN THE STUDIO HERE. >> YOUR MATERIAL IS LIFESAVER FOR US, AND WE APPRECIATE EVERYTHING THAT YOU SEND TO US, AND YOU CAPTAIN RESHARE EVERYTHING, APRIL APPRECIATE HAVING I AM MANY HONORED THAT YOU SEND IT TO ME OUT OF ALL OF THE WEATHER PEOPLE IN THE WORLD, THANK YOU, IT MEANS A LOT. AND IT CERTAINLY HELPS IN A DAY LEAK THIS. THROUGH ALL OF THE SOCIAL MEDIA CHANNELS WE HAVE NOT SEEN ANY DAMAGE. I KNOW THAT THERE WAS SOME DAMAGE WE HAD A TORNADO DOWN AROUND NEAR BOLEY SPRINGS, AND HOPEFULLY THAT WAS IN A WOODED AREA WHERE YE OF DIDN'T HAVE PEOPLE THAT LIVED THERE. W KNEW THAT THERE WAS ATORIES DOWN BECAUSE OF OF THE DEBRIS SIGNATURE. YOU WANT TO BE FAIRLY CONSISTENT, AND THEY WILL WATCH FOR MULTIPLE VOLUME SCANS. I WILL SAY THAT THE STORM IS MOVING INTO AN INVITE THAT IS MUCH MORE STABLE UP HERE. DEW POINTS ARE LOWER. >> IT'S RAIN-COOLED AIR, AND IT'S NOT REALLY A CLASSIC ENVIRONMENT FOR TORNADOES AT THIS POINT. I DO WANT TO SHOW THE TORNADO WATCH. MUCH OF THE AREA IS IN A TORNADO WATCH. IT IS A CLASSIC COLD SEASON CASE IN FEBRUARY. WE'VE GOT VERY GOOD DYNAMICS, WE HAVE POOR THERMODYNAMIC, AND WE GET THIS A LOT. AND EVEN IN A SITUATION LIKE THIS, YOU HAVE SOME PRETTY NASTY TORNADOES. THIS IS TORNADOES SEASON, SANKEY SAY THAT WE ARE NOT SUPPOSED TO BE HAVING TORNADO HERE, IN THIS DATE IN 2008. A HORRIBLE E F 8 WENT THROUGH PRATTVILLE. >> I CAN GIVE YOU 150 EXAMPLES, THAT WE DO HAVE TORNADOES HERE THIS TIME OF THE YEAR. IT INCLUDES BASICALLY ALL OF OUR TERRITORY HERE, IN EFFECT UNTIL 8 OR 9 O'CLOCK, TAYLOR >> 9 O'CLOCK, FOR THE EASTERN PART. >> 8 O'CLOCK, FOR THE WESTERN PART, AND WE HAVE A NEW TORNADO WARNING. AND THIS IS GOING TO BE THE ONE DOWN IN GREENE, AND SUMTER COUNTIES. THE STUFF THAT YOU SEE IN WALKER AND NORTHEASTERN CRESCENT COUNTY THAT'S VERY VERY BROAD. SO LETS GEE DOWN TO OUR NEW TORNADO WARNING. >> THIS IS GOING TO BE A TORNADO WARNING IN EFFECT FOR PARTS OF GREENE AND SUMTER COUNTY. >> THIS IS IN EFFECT UNTIL 515 THIS AFTERNOON. WE HAVE A SEVERE THUNDERSTORM THAT IS CAPABLE OF PRODUCING A TORNADOES OVER WEST GREENE 16 MILES SOUTH OF AISVILLE MOVING NORTHEAST AT 60 MILES PER HOUR. LET ME SHOW YOU WHO'S IN, AND WHO'S OUT. HERE'S YOUR CIRCULATION RIGHT HERE. >> THIS IS AS HIGHWAY 14. >> DON'T BE TRAVELING ON HIGHWAY 14. >> A LOT PEOPLE DO AT THIS HOUR OF THE DAY IT BETWEEN EUTAW, ANALYSTVILLE. YOU SHOULD IT'S BE TRAVEL RIGHT NOW. NOBODY ON HIGHWAY 14. THAT'S THE MAJOR ROUTE IN THIS POLYGON. THE CITY OF EUTAW IS NOT IN THE POLYGON. >> THIS IS NORTH OF EUTAW, THIS IS IN TOWN OF WEST GREENE. AND THE TORNADOES I CAN CIRCULATION IS ON TOP OF WEST GREENE. TEN MILES SOUTH OF AISVILLE. THE TOWN OF UNION IS RIGHT HERE. >> AND IF IF CONTINUES, THINK THIS ONE WILL BE MOVING INTO TUSCALOOSA COUNTY IN A PLACE WHERE IT MIGHT. SUMTER COUNTY IS RIGHT HERE, THIS IS THE TOMBIGBEE COUNTY. THE CIRCULATION IS EXCLUSIVELY IN GREENE COUNTY S SUMTER COUNTY YOUR GOOD. THIS IS FOR NORTHERN GREENE. >> THIS IS SIPSEY RIVER. WHICH IS THE BORDER BETWEEN PICKENS COUNTY AND GREENE COUNTY, THIS IS IN NORTH PERSON GREENE COUNTY. >> PICKENS COUNTY IS NOT INVOLVED IN THIS. WE HAVE A TORNADO WARNING IN EFFECT FOR NORTH PERSON GREENE UNTIL 515 THIS AFTERNOON, AND NOTICE IF THIS THING TIPS YOU HAVE THIS CITY OF TUSCALOOSA RIGHT HERE. AND IT CERTAINLY BEARS WATCHING IF YOU IN THE CITY OF TUSCALOOSA, AND NOBODY SHOULD BE ON HIGHWAY 14 FOR THE NEXT 15, 20, MAYBE 30 MINUTES BETWEEN EUTAW ANALYSTVILLE. LET THIS. AS A COURSE OF LEAST REGRET, WE ADVISE NO TRAVEL BETWEEN THE TUSCALOOSA COUNTY LINE, AND THE ALABAMA 14 EXIT. >> THAT WOULD INCLUDE THE GREEN TRACK EXIT. HE WOULDN'T WANT TO BE ON 5920, AND MOST LIKELY THE TORNADIC CIRCULATION WILL STAY OVER 5920 IN NORTHERN GREENE COUNTY AND ULTIMATELY MOVING INTO SOUTHWEST TUSCALOOSA. THE TOWN OF KNOXVILLE, ALABAMA, KNOT NOT TENHAKEN, RIGHT HERE, AND WE WILL PUT ATTRACT ON THIS. >> THE TORNADO IS MOVING AT ABOUT 60, AND YOU CAN RECEIPT PROXIMATE ARRIVAL TIMES OF SOME OF THE ARRIVAL TIMES. KNOXVILLE THAT'S IN GREENE COUNTY AT 458 THIS AFTERNOON, AND AGAIN WE'VE GOT A LIVESTREAM. IS THAT HE EVER AND CHICK ADMINISTRATOR A? WE'VE GOT EVAN CHICKVARA WHO IS IN THE PROCESS OF INTERCEPTING THIS. EVAN OF COURSE IS A METEOROLOGIST HERE HE'S GOOD. WE DON'T WANT YOU ON DOING THIS IF YOU HAVE NOT BEEN TRAINED IN SPOTTER TRAINING YOU HAVE NO BUSINESS BEING OUT IN THIS TYPE OF WEATHER, BUT FOR A JAMMIES, FOR TRAINED SPOTTERS, THAT'S WHAT THEY DO. THEY HAVE BEEN TRAINED IN SAFETY. IT'S ALWAYS SAFETY FIRMS. AND AGAIN, WE WILL BE WATCHING HE EVER AND IT'S LIVESTREAM ON 5920 IN GREENE COUNTY. WILL BE ABLE TO SEE MORE OF THIS. I WANT TO BE SURE THAT THESE TOWNS PEOPLE CAN SEE. I'M SORRY, WE CUT THAT OFF. WE HAD THE TOWNS CUT OFF IN A DOUBLE BOX ON TELEVISION, IF YOU CAN REDRAW IS THE TRACK FOR ME IT CUTS OFF PART OF THE SCREEN, AND THE PEOPLE COUNT SEE THE ARRIVAL TILES. SO TAYLOR IS GOING TO DO A NEW STORM TRACK WITH THE ETA, AND THAT CIRCULATION IS GETTING AWFULLY CLOSE TO HIGHWAY 14. AND WE DO HAVE ANOTHER ONE AS WELL THAT WE WILL GO TO AS WELL, A NEW AND ONE. >> AND THIS IS GOING TO BE FOR PARTS OF JEFFERSON, AND WALKER >> THESE ARE THE APPROXIMATE. >> GINA THE 4:57. KNOXVILLE AT 4:56 IN THE NORTHERN PART OF GREENE COUNTY. NO OFTRA HE WILL ON HIGHWAY 14. LET'S GO TO OUR NEW WARNING. >> THE WEATHER SERVICE HAS REISSUED A WARNING FOR ONE OF THE NORTHERN CIRCULATIONS. >> LET'S GO UP TO OUR STORM AFFECTING PARTS OF WALKER AND EXTREME NORTHERN JEFFERSON. >> THIS IS OUR NEW POLYGON RIGHT HERE. THIS IS AWFULLY BROAD, BUT THE WEATHER SERVICE WILL ISSUE A NEW WARNING FOR NORTHERN JEFFERSON. >> A LOT THE OLDER LEGACY SYSTEMS WILL SOUND COUNTY WIDE. WE DON'T ISSUE WARNINGS BASED ON COUNTIES, BASED ON FEE OH, METRIC SHAPES, POLYGON. YOU MAY HEAR SOME WARNING DEVICES, AND THAT DOESN'T NECESSARILY MEAN NEUROA WARNING. I WANT TO TAKE THIS FULL SCREEN AS WE CALL OUT THE NAMES OF THE TOWNS >> THIS IS OUR NEW WARNING FOR NORTHERN JEFFERSON, FOR THE POSSIBILITY OF A TORNADO. >> ALLIANCE, HIGHWAY TWO SIX NINE RIGHT HERE, IN FAR NORTHWESTERN COUNTY, AND SOME OF THE OTHER COMMUNITIES WOULD BE FOREST DALE, ADAMSVILLE. CAR DID I HAVE. GANDER DALE, FULTONDALE, MOUNT OLIVE. >> PINSON, CLAY, BRADFORD. MORRIS, KIMBERLY. >> SO IF WE CALLED OUT THE NAME OF YOUR TOWN, OR IF YOU ARE CLOSE TO THOSE TOWNS YOU ARE NOW IN A TORNADO WARNING. TORNADO WARNING IS GOING TO BE IN EFFECT UNTIL 5:30 THIS AFTERNOON. AND AGAIN THIS IS BECAUSE OF A SEVERE THUNDERSTORM CAPABLE OF PRODUCING TORNADO AROUND THE GORGUS, PLANTS 14 MILES SOUTH OF CORDOVA. >> AND THE WEATHER SERVICE HAS THIS MOVING EAST AT 70 MILES PER HOUR. THESE ARE SCREAMING THROUGH HERE TODAY. SO AGAIN, THIS IS A NEW TORNADOES WARNING FOR NORTHERN JEFFERSON COUNTY, AND AGAIN, THE TRACK HERE DOESN'T CORRELATE EXACTLY WITH THAT WARNING, BUT YOU MIGHT SEE YOUR DOWN THERE, GIVE YOU SOME IDEAS ABOUT THE PROXIMATE ARRIVAL TIMES OF THIS. BUT AGAIN, IT'S PRETTY BROAD RIGHT IN THROUGH HERE. >> THIS IS WHAT THE WEATHER SERVICE IS CONCERNED ABOUT, IN BIRMINGHAMING PORT, AND APPLY AS. >> I WAS DOWN IN OAK GROVE THIS WEEK. OAK GROVE YOU ARE OKAY, THIS IS NORTH OF YOU. THAT GOING TO BE COMING OUT HERE TOWARDS THE INTERSTATE 20 TWOMENT MANY ADAMSVILLE S FOREST DALE. BROOKSIDE, CAR CATROPICAL RAIN DIFF, INTERSTATE 531. FULTONDALE, GARDENDALE. MOUNT OLIVE. KIMBERLY, MORRIS, BRADFORD, PINSON, CENTER POINT CLAY, THE NORTHERN PART OF TRUSSVILLE. THIS IS ALL NORTH OF DOWNTOWN BIRMINGHAM.

THE OLD MACFARLAND MALL SITS OVER HERE. >> THIS'S U.S. 82, AND AGAIN, THIS WILL BE CROSSING OVER THROUGH COTTON DAY, MOVING IN THE GENERAL DIRECTION, TOWARDS BROOKWOOD IF THIS THING HOLDS TOGETHER. YOU'VE GOT WOODLAND FOREST, IT IS A NEIGHBORHOOD SOUTH OF SKYLAND, WITH A COUNTRY CLUB, AND GOLF OF COURSE THERE, THAT TORNADIC CIRCULATION IS BASICALLY ON TOP OF WOODLAND FOR, AND THIS IS THE COTTONDALE EXIT OFF OF U.S. 11, AND CONTINUING MOVING UP TOWARDS BROOKWOOD. >> IN COTTONDALE. WOODLAND FOREST, ANY OF THESE COMMUNITIES THAT WE ARE TALKING ABOUT, YOU HAVE TO BE SHELTERED. YOU HAVE GOT TO BE. THIS IS A LIVE LOOK FROM COTTONDALE, AND IT LOOKS LIKE THAT'S WHERE U.S. 11 COMES AND INTERSECTS WITH UNIVERSITY BOULEVARD. >> THE TORNADIC CIRCULATION WOULD BE JUST TO THE SOUTH OF THAT PARTICULAR POINT. JUST SOUTH OF THERE. >> AND AGAIN, FOR THOSE OF YOU THAT WOULD NORMALLY BE DRIVING, OUR ENCOURAGEMENT TODAY IS PLEASE TONIGHT DO THAT. >> SO LET'S GO BACK TO THIS AND WE ARE WATCHING SOUTHERN TUSCALOOSA COUNTY, AND LET ME JUST SAY THIS. FOR DOWNTOWN TUSCALOOSA, WE WILL GIVE YOU AN ALL CLEAR. >> DOWNTOWN TUSCALOOSA, ALL CLEAR. >> DOWNTOWN NORTH PORT, ALL CLEAR. >> CAMPUS OF THE UNIVERSITY OF ALABAMA, ALL CLEAR. >> SO IF YOU ARE AT THE UNIVERSITY OF AS, IF YOU ARE IN DOWNTOWN TUSCALOOSA, DOWNTOWN NORTH PORT YOU CAN COME OUT OF YOUR TORNADO SAFE PLACE, WE WILL GIVE YOU AN ALL CLEAR, THE DANGER IS WELL TO THE SOUTH AND EAST OF THERE. >> AND THE POSSIBLE TORNADO NEAR WOODLAND FOREST, COMING UP TOWARDS COTTONDALE, AND NEXT ONLINE, WOULD BE BROOKWOOD, AND IT WOULD BE CROSSING INTERSTATE 5920. KEENS MILL ROAD AND COMING OUT TOWARDS BROOKWOOD, AS HIGHWAY 216 AND THE SIGNATURE STAYS PRETTY POTENT HERE. >> THIS HAS A BEEN A PRETTY POTENT SIGNATURE, WE WILL KNOW FAIRLY SOON IF WE HAVE SOME DAMAGE IN THESE AREAS, PAUSE IT'S BEEN -- IT IS A VERY DEFENSIVELY POPULATED PART OF TUSCALOOSA COUNTY OBVIOUSLY. AND I HAVE NOT SEEN ANY DAMAGE AT THIS POINT. >> BUT THAT DOESN'T MEAN --- WE COULD EASILY HAVE SOME DAMAGE. REMEMBER, THE POWER GOES OUT, COMMUNICATION GOES OUT. WE OFTEN DON'T SEE THE IMAGES, THE VIDEO RIGHT OUT OF THE GATE HERE. WE HAVE A REPORT OF A FUNNEL CLOUD BEHIND INGLEWOOD ELEMENTARY SCHOOL WHEN THIS CROSSED OVER HIGHWAY 69 EARLIER. THIS IS COMING FROM EMA, IN CRESCENT. >> BUT NO SPECIFIC DAMAGE RELATED TO THAT I AM HOPING THAT I CAN STAND HERE IN 30 MINUTES SAY THAT THERE WAS NO DAMAGE FROM THIS. THIS IS THE BEST OUTCOME. THE WHOLE THING WAS ALOFT. >> WE HAVE PEA--SIZED HAIL. >> WE HAVE HIGH CORE REFLECTIVITY VALUES COMING THROUGH, AND WE HAVE REPORTS OF PEA-SIZED HAIL. >> THIS IS COTTONDALE, EAST OF TUSCALOOSA, AND PEA-SIZED HAIL FALLING IN ALBERTA CITY, AND TENTH STEET EAST. WE'VE HAD REPORTS OF NICKLE--SIZED HAIL WITH THIS STORM AS WELL. >> THIS IS FROM ONE OF OF THE ALGO, CAMERAS IN COTTONDALE EAST OF TUSCALOOSA. >> PUT AGAIN, THE POWER IS ON. THAT'S THE BEST THING THAT WE CAN TELL YOU, AND THINGS LOOK NORMAL AT THAT ENTPO. >> IT'S GO BACK TO THE RADAR. WE'VE GOT POTENTIAL FOR A TORNADO THAT'S CROSSING INTERSTATE 5920 OUT HERE IN THE EASTERN PART OF TUSCALOOSA, AND THE OLD BIG WHICH TRUCK STOP, AND THAT BE CROSSING OUT THROUGH COTTONDALE OVER HERE, AND THIS IS HIGHWAY 216. >> PETERSON, BROOKWOOD RIGHT HERE. SO FROM COTTON TAIL, NEXT ONLINE, IS BROOKWOOD, SO IF YOU ARE IN BROOKWOOD, THOSE AREAS EAST OF TUSCALOOSA, YOU HAVE TO BE SHELTERED, AND AT THIS POINT IS I AM LOOKING AT ALL OF MY SOURCE, I AM NOT SEEING ANY REPORTS OF DAMAGE I AM JUST GETTING REPORTS OF FROM MULTIPLE SOURCES >> ON THE AIR, WE SHOULD MENTION, U.S. 78, OR ALABAMA HIGHWAY FIVE NEAR INTERSTATE 22, THAT'S FROM THE STORM THAT IS IN NORTHEASTERN JEFFERSON >> I JUST GOT FROM TWO SEPARATE SOURCES, AN 18 WHEELER BLOWN OVER ON INTERSTATE 22, DUE TO A POSSIBLE TORNADO >> AT TORNADOES SIGNATURES ARE FLARED VERY QUICKLY TODAY. AND WE'VE SEEN DEBRIS SIGNATURES FROM TIME TO TIME, AND WE SHOW A DIBS HERE, IT'S DOWN. >> THAT'S HOW GOOD THAT PRODUCT IS, AND WHEN WE HAVE IT DOWN, YOU WILL HAVE TRUCKS OVERTURNED, YOU WILL SEE TREES LIKE THAT OF AND WHERE WE ARE NOW. WE HAVE A TORNADO WARNING FOR EASTERN TUSCALOOSA COUNTY. >> AGAIN, TUSCALOOSA, THE CITY OF TUSCALOOSA, ALL CLEAR. CAMPUS OF THE UNIVERSITY OF ALABAMA, ALL CLEAR, YOU MADE IT THROUGH THIS ONE. >> IT PASSED SOUTH OF YOU. THE CITY OF NORTH PORT YOU ARE ALL CLEAR. GREAT EGGS CONCERN IS EAST HE EVER TUSCALOOSA, BACK UP TO BROOKWOOD. >> COTTONDALE, AND BROOKWOOD YOU STAY SHELTERED. LET'S GO BACK UP TO NORTHEASTERN JEFFERSON. >> WE WILL BOUNCE BACK AND FORTH BETWEEN THE TWO >> I THINK THAT THEY JUST CANCELLED THAT WARNING. >> SO GREAT. WE ARE DOWN TO ONE WARNING NOW. SO THE WEATHER SERVICE HAS CANCELLED THE WARNING FOR NORTHEASTERN JEFFERSON, SO IF YOU ARE IN THE BRADFORD, MASSEY LINE, YOU ARE GOOD. ANYWHERE EAST OF KIMBERLY, AND MORRIS, THAT CIRCULATION HAS GONE AWAY. WE ARE DOWN TO ONE TORNADOES WARNING, AND THIS IS THE ONE FOR EASTERN TUSCALOOSA COUNTY, WE CAN FOCUS ON THIS ONE STORM. I WILL SHOW AWE BIG PICTURE IN JUST A MINUTE. WE HAVE ONE WARNING IN THE WHOLE STATE, AND IT IS THIS ONE. A TORNADOS WARNING FOR EASTERN TUSCALOOSA COUNTY, FOR THE POSSIBILITIES OF A TORNADIC CIRCULATION RIGHT HERE, AND HERE'S YOUR TORNADIC CIRCULATION, SBTS'S PRETTY BROAD IT COULD BE THERE. APPROACHING PROBROOKWOOD. AND THE CIRCULATION HAS COME THROUGH COTTONDALE. THROUGH WOODLAND FOREST, AND APPROACHING BROOKWOOD. FOR TUSCALOOSA, EVERYBODY IS GOOD. DANGER IS OVER FOR YOU, THEY WILL BE SHAVING OFF THAT POLYGON GOOD. >> FLEET POLICE DEPARTMENT WOULD WOOD, PETERSON, BROOKWOOD. >> LAKEWOOD IS OVER HERE, AND IF THIS THING CONTINUES, AND IT HANGING IN THERE. >> THEN IT MIGHT WIND UP CROSS NOTHING JEFFERSON AGAIN. >> WE WILL SEE. AT THE MOMENT IT DOES NOT LOOK THAT WELL DEFINED ON RADAR, BUT AGAIN, I AM SCANNING SO MANY DIFFERENT SOURCE SANS WE HAVE SO MANY LIVESTSTREAMS IN THE FIELD, AND WE DON'T SEE ANY ISSUES OF DAMAGE FROM THIS, IN TUSCALOOSA COUNTY. THERE COULD BE SOME. I AM NOT SEEING ANY. IT'S JUST A LARGE MASS OF RAIN OVER THE STATE. >> MANY SEATS POURING, THERE'S THUNDER AND LINES. >> WE HAVE PRESSURE GRADIENT WIND NOT RELATED TO STORMS. THAT HAVE CREATED SOME POWER OUTAGES. >> IT IS JUST RAINING, ANNISTON, CULLMAN, JASPER, HALEYVILLE, IT IS JUST RAINING, THERE IS ONE FLASHING POLYGON, THAT'S FOR THE STORM COMING THROUGH EASTERN TUSCALOOSA COUNTY. THE WARNING HAS BEEN EXPIRED OR BEEN CANCELLED FOR NORTHEASTERN JEFFERSON. MOST OF THIS IS OUTFLOW DOMINANT, WHICH IS A FOOD THING. YOU WANT TO SEE THAT. BUT WE STILL HAVE PARAMETERS THAT COULD TRIGGER ANOTHER TORNADO WARNING OR TWO. >> AND LET'S LOOK AT OUR TORNADOES WATCH VERY QUICKLY. YOU SEEK THAT THAT WE HAVE THE COUNTIES IN YELLOW. AND THESE ARE COUNTIES IN A TORNADO WATCH THROUGH 8 OR 9 O'CLOCK TONIGHT, AND THE COUNTIES THAT HAVE BEEN CLEARED ARE MARION AND LAMAR. YOUR RISK OF SEVERE WEATHER HAS ENDED, AND ALL OF THIS SHOULD BE OVER BY 8, 9 OR 10 O'CLOCK TOMORROW, WHICH IS A GOOD THING, BUT FOR THE EVENING HOURS HERE, IT IS 522. JUST BE AWARE THAT THE POTENTIAL WILL CONTINUE FOR A FEW ISOLATED TORNADOES. WE ARE VERY THANKFUL THAT WE HAVE THIS BIG MASSIVE RAIN HERE. AND LET'S GO BACK TO THE RADAR, AND THIS RAIN COOLED AIR WILL CERTAINLY HELP. AND THAT KEEPS THE INSTABILITY VALUES DOWN, AND WE ARE THANKFUL FOR THAT. BUT LET'S GO BACK INTO OUR ONE STORM THAT IS PRODUCING TORNADO WARNING IN EASTERN TUSCALOOSA COUNTY. >> THAT THE HE'S A HAIL CORE. >> AND IF YOU IN BROAD WOOD YOU HAVE SOME HAIL FALL, MAYBE PEA OR NICKLE OF-SIZED YOU CAN SEE EVIDENCE THAT IT'S COME RIGHT THROUGH HIGHWAY 216. >> HALE IS CLEARLY FALL HERE, GREETS TO OUR VELOCITY DISPLAY. >> THAT TELLS THE STORY OF THE WIND, AND WE SEE EVIDENCE OF BROAD CIRCULATION, THAT IS NOT A CLASSIC TORNADO SIGNATURE. WEATHER IS HORRIBLE, IF YOU IN BROAD WOOD, OR IN PETERSON, OR IN FLEET WOOD, OR IN ABERNAT, OR EAST BROAD WOOD. YOU STAY SHELTERED. >> AS LONG AS YOU HAVE THAT CLASSIC FLASHING POLYGON. FOR TUSCALOOSA YOU ARE GOOD. >> THE DANGER IS OVER, THEY WILL TRIM THAT WARNING RIGHT ABOUT HERE. >> COTTONDALE I ARE GOOD YOU CAN COME OUT OF YOUR TORNADOES SHELTER. ALL OF TUSCALOOSA YOU ARE GOOD. THE CONCERN NOW IS FOR BROOK WOOLED, AND ULTIMATELY ABERNAT AND JEFFERSON. >> THIS IS COAL MINING COUNTRY, AND LOT OF THE LAND IS OWNED BY THE COAL MINING OFFICIALS. >> A LOT PEOPLE LIVE HERE ESPECIALLY IN BROOKWOOD. THEY HAVE A BEAUTIFUL NEW SCHOOL THERE. THAT WILL BE MOVING TO THE NORTHEAST. >> IT LOOKS FAIRLY PROOFED. >> IT SEEMS LIKE ALL OF OUR DAMAGE REPORTS ARE COMING FROM NORTHERN JEFFERSON FROM INTERSTATE 22. >> ONE REPORT THAT I DO HAVE FROM CRESCENT COUNTY, IS HAIL, THAT YOU ARE TALKING ABOUT, AT THIS POINT, I HAVE NOT SEEN ANY DAMAGE REPORTS COMING IN FROM THIS TUSCALOOSA COUNTY STORMENT AND IF THAT'S THE CASE, THAT IS THE BEST CASE SCENARIO, >> THAT IS. AND I DO HAVE A REPORT FROM WOODLAND FOREST, NO DAMAGE. THEY HEARD STRONG WINDS, BUT THEY ARE GOD, AND THAT'S GREAT NEWS. >> AGAIN, THAT CIRCULATION, WENT RIGHT THROUGH WOODLAND FOREST, AND NO DAMAGE REPORTED AND THAT'S GREAT NEWS, AND THE BEST POSSIBLE SCENARIO IS THE FACT THAT THIS THING HAS BEEN ALOFT T CAME THROUGH A DEFENSIVELY POPULATED PART OF TUSCALOOSA COUNTY, AND THE ANALOG IN TERMS OF THE TRACK ON THIS, IS MUCH LIKE THE DECEMBER 2000, DECEMBER 16, 200, NOT THE INTENSITY PUT THE TRACK OF THAT STORM. BUT ALL OF THE REPRTS THAT I AM SEEING ARE PRETTY MUCH FROM OUT AROUND INTERSTATE 22, AND U.S. HIGHWAY 78. SOME PRETTY INTERESTING VIDEO HERE. >> A WE HAVE THE ONE WARNING THAT IS IN TUSCALOOSA WARNING. >> IN TUSCALOOSA COUNTY, WE ARE NOT SEEING AN IDNICATION THAT THAT ROTATION, OR THAT TORNADO WAS ON THE GROUND. >> BUT IT COULD EVENTUALLY DROP A TORNADOES, THAT'S WHY WE HAVE THAT TORNADO WARNING, WE WANT YOU STAYING IN THAT SAFE PLACE. WE WANT YOU TO JUST STAY MEGYN KELLIERED DOWN, UNTIL THIS TORNADOES WARNING IS AN I LOUD TO EXPIRE OR CANCELLED. ELSE SOMEWHERE IN CENTRAL ALABAMA WE HAVE HEAVY HEAVY RAIN, SOME STRONG WINDS, BUT THAT IS OUR ONE SEVERE WARNINGS THAT WE DON'T HAVE ANY OTHER SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WARNINGS, BUT JUST THIS ONE TORNADO WARNING FOR PARTS OF TUSCALOOSA COUNTY. >> I DO WANT TO TAKE YOU DOWN, BECAUSE WE DO HAVE THAT REPORT OF HAIL, AND WHERE YOU GO SEEING IN THE PINK COLOR, SOME HAIL FALLING TO THE SOUTH OF KELLER MAN, THIS WILL BE EVENTUALLY MOVING INTO JEFFERSON COUNTY HERE PRETTY SOON. >> AND SO I AM JUST GETTING WORD IN FROM THE NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE BECAUSE WE HAVEN'T HAD ANY IDNICATION THAT THIS HAS BEEN ON THE GROUND. THEY ARE GOING TO ISSUE A SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WARNING DOWNSTREAM FROM THIS TORNADO WARNING AS IT DOES MOVE INTO JEFFERSON COUNTY WHICH MEANS THAT ARE YOU LIKELY TO SEE SOME STRONG WINDS OR HAIL? YES, THAT'S POSSIBLE, BUT AT THIS POINT THEY ARE NOT PLANNING TO CONTINUE A TORNADO WARNING INTO JEFFERSON COUNTY BASED ON THIS STORM. SO THAT'S GOOD NEWS. THAT THE MEANS THAT THEY ARE SEEING THE SAME TREND WE ARE. IT'S NOT AS TIGHT IN TERMS THAT HAVE ROTATION. BUT LET'S TAKE YOU OUT AND SHOW YOU THE BIG PICTURE PAUSE WHAT WE'VE GOT GOING ON NOW, IS THAT THEY ARE STARTING TO CLEAR SOME COUNTIES FROM THAT TORNADO WATCH. THIS IS THAT MAIN LINE. >> ONCE THIS LINE OF STORMS MOVES THROUGH THIS AREA, THEN YOU ARE DONE WITH YOUR SEVERE RISK FOR THE NIGHT. AND FOR THAT REASON, THE NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE IS STARTING TO DROP SOME COMMUNITIES. LET'S TAKE YOU BACK TO THAT TORNADO WATCH. NOW LAMAR, AND MARION COUNTIES ARE NO LONGER IN THAT TORNADOES WATCH. YOU ARE DONE WITH YOUR SEVERE THREAT FOR THE EVENING. >> ONCE YOU GET THAT BIG PUSH OF STRONG WINDS, THOSE STRONGER THUNDERSTORMS THEN YOU ARE TON, AND BE WE WILL BE TURNING MUCH COLDER. >> LET'S TAKE A LOOK AT WEXO 5. . THIS IS NORTH SIDE HIGH SCHOOL IN SAMANTHA. NORTH TUSCALOOSA COUNTY. >> AND I JUST WANTED TO SHOW, THIS IS THEIR FOOTBALL SCOREBOARD, THE SCHOOL TWEET THIS HAD OUT. AND THAT WAS THE TORNADO I CAN CAN CIRCULATION THAT CAME ACROSS NORTH OF TUSCALOOSA, AND I THINL I SPRINGS. >> THIS IS COMING FROM VALERIE, THIS IS IN SOUTHERN FAYETTE COUNTY, THIS IS THE SAME STORM THAT PRODUCED THE DAMAGE. AND AGAIN, OUR OLD COMPUTER, I WILL TELL YOU WHAT LET'S GO BACK TO WEXO FIVE. I CAN GO MAY IT ON MINE. >> THIS IS A LITTLE MINOR DAMAGE IN TUSCALOOSA. THIS IS PRESSURE GRADIENT WIND. THIS IS WHAT IT LOOKED LIKE COMING INTO TUSCALOOSA COUNTY FROM HULLS LOOKING BACK AT HIGHWAY 69 TOWARD INGLEWOOD. >> THIS WAS A WALL CLOUD. WE ARE FORTUNATE THAT THIS THING DID POINT PRODUCE A TORNADO IT WENT THROUGH SUCH A TESTILY POPULATED AREA. WE WOULD KNOW IF THIS DID INDEED PRODUCE A TORNADO. THIS IS COMING FROM NEAR THE CRESCENT HALE COUNTY LINE LOOKING BACK TOWARDS INGLEWOOD AND HILLCREST HIGH SCHOOL YOU CAN SEE A WALL CLOUD THERE WHICH IS WELL DEFINE YOU HAD, BUT NOT SEEING ANY EVIDENCE AT POINT OF A TORNADO, SO TAYLOR BACK TO YOU, AND I'LL GET VALERIE'S VIDEO IN JUST A SECOND. WHAT I WANTED TO SHOW IS THAT WE HAVE THAT NEW SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WARNING, IT INCLUDES, METRO, HUEYTOWN, BEDNE RS2015 - BESSEMER, HOOVER, PELHAM. >> AND WE CAN SEE WINDS OVER 60 MILES PER HOUR, AND SOME WIND FROM THIS SUPER VELOCITY STORM, THEY ARE NOT EXPECTED TO EXTEND THE TORNADOES WARNING, AND UNDERSTAND THAT STRAIGHT LINE WINDS CAN DO DAMAGE AS WELL. >> SOME OF THE PICTURES THAT JAMES IS SHOWING YOU IS DAMAGE BECAUSE OF STRAIGHT LINE WINDS. >> WE ARE ALSO WILL LOOKING AT THE POSSIBILITY OF SOME HAIL, IF Y HALE, IF YOU LIVE IN HUEYTOWN, BESSEMER, THE WINDS WILL START TO PICK UP AND GET SOME HAIL. WE HAVE A GREEN BOX THAT JUST POPPED ON THERE, AND THAT IS A FLOOD ADVISORY. THAT'S GOING TO LAST THROUGH 8:30 P.M., AND THAT'S BECAUSE YOU HAVE A LOT OF HEAVY RAIN, THIS SYSTEM WAS MOVING OVER TUSCALOOSA, AND NOW OVER BROOKWOOD, AND THE RAINFALL RATES WITH THIS ARE JUST VERY HIGH. A FLOOD ADVISORY MEANS THAT WE CAN HAVE SOME MINOR FLOODING. TO TAKE US TOWN AND LOOK AT THE VELOCITY HERE, THIS IS STILL A TORNADOES WARNING FOR PARTS OF TUSCALOOSA COUNTY, INCLUDING BROOKWOOD, KELLER MAN, AND LAKEVIEW, BUT LET'S SEE HERE, WHAT THIS VELOCITY IS LOOKING LIKE. >> ONCE AGAIN, THE VELOCITY NOT SHOWING A SUPER STRONG INDICATION OF OF A TORNADO AT T TORNADO AT THIS POINT, STRONG WINDS, ABSOLUTELY. HEAVY RAIN, ABSOLUTELY. PRO OPROBABLY A LOT OF THUNDER AS WELL. AT THIS POINT, YOUR STILL IN THE POLYGON. STAY IN A SAFE PLACE, PUT I CAN CONFIDENTLY TELL YOU THAT AT LEAST AT THIS MOMENT IT DOESN'T LOOK TO BE A VERY STRONG SIGNATURE OF A TORNADOS >>. >>JAMES: LET'S TAKE >> LET'S FOCUS IN RIGHT THERE. >> THIS IS A NEW TORNADO WARNING AND AGAIN A LOT OF YOU JUST GOT YOUR ES TONES OR TONES ON YOUR PHONE OR YOUR WATCH. >> IT'S FAIRLY BROAD BUT I THINK THE WEATHER SERVICE UNDERSTANDS THAT BECAUSE OF THE POPULATION DENSITY HERE IT MIGHT BE BEST BASED ON THE LOOK THE REFLECTIVITY LOOK TO GO AHEAD AND POST A TORNADO WARNING FOR THE SOUTHERN PART OF THE BIRMINGHAM METRO. >> AND AGAIN THE BEST LOCATION OF THE CIRCULATION IS NEAR THE INTERSECTION OF 459 AND 5920. THIS IS JUST SOUTHWEST OF BESSEMER NOT TOO FAR FROM MCCALL LOVE. CIRCULATION WILL BE MOVING LIKE THAT. OF COURSE ON THAT TRACK THAT WILL TAKE IT CLOSE TO PLACES LIKE BESSEMER AND OXMOOR VALLEY AND SHANNON. AGAIN YOU WILL SEE A LOT OF COMMUNITIES ON HERE. JUST THOUSANDS OF DOTS BECAUSE OF THE THOUSANDS OF NEIGHBORHOODS ACROSS THE BIRMINGHAM METRO. BUT AGAIN THIS IS VERY INCONVENIENT I KNOW THAT. 5:41. WEEKDAY A LOT OF PEOPLE ARE TRYING TO GET HOME. RIGHT THING TO DO IS IF YOU ARE IN THIS POLYGON GO TO SAFE PLACE. CIRCULATION RAIN WRAPPED. WRAPPED IN RAIN. YOU CAN'T SEE THEM. THE TEMPTATION IF YOU ARE IN THESE LOCATIONS BIRMINGHAM METRO LOOK OUT THE WINDOW. >> YOU CAN'T SEE ANYTHING. >> WE CAN'T SEE ANYTHING OFF THESE CAMERAS JUST ALL WRAPPED IN RAIN. AND THAT'S A WASTE OF TIME. WEAR A HELMET. BICYCLE HELMET IS GREAT. CLEAN BICYCLE HELMET WILL MITIGATE CRITICAL INJURY. SO MANY CASES. BATTING HELMET. MOTORCYCLE HELMET. >> LUNCHES OF THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE. THAT MOST DENSELY POPULATED YOU MIGHT WANT TO CALL AND TEXT THEM. NOT WATCHING. A LOT OF PEOPLE GO HOME AND WATCH STREAMING STUFF. AND THEY DON'T WATCH, THEY DON'T PAY ATTENTION. I'M NOT CRITICIZING. >> NOT EVERYBODY IS A WEATHER DWEEB. YOU GOT TO LET THEM KNOW. YOU CAN HELP US. THE. >> SO AGAIN THE TORNADO WARNING POLYGON INCLUDES BESSEMER,. >> SHANNON. OXMOOR VALLEY. MID FIELD DOES NOT INCLUDE HUEYTOWN. INCLUDES HOOVER, VESTAVIA HILLS. DOWNTOWN BIRMINGHAM. U.S. 280 CORRIDOR. MOUNTAIN BROOK. INVERNESS. LIBERTY PARK. >> DONOVAN AND SHELBY COUNTY. ALL THE WAY DOWN TO CHELSEA. SO IF YOU ARE IN THIS POLYGON YOU NEED TO RESPECT THE POLYGON AND GET TO SAFE PLACE. AGAIN THIS IS COMING FROM THE SKY CAM THAT AT GALLERIA TOWER. AGAIN I WILL TELL YOU THAT WE CAN SHOW YOU A LOT OF THESE SKY CAMS EVERYTHING JUST RAIN WRAPPED. YOU CAN'T SEE THAT MUCH. I WISH I COULD SHOW YOU SOMETHING. WE KNOW THAT RESEARCH SHOWS THAT PEOPLE WILL DO -- WILL TAKE ACTION MORE QUICKLY IF THEY CAN SEE A TORNADO. BUT THIS IS ALABAMA. THIS IS NOT NEB. NOT OKLAHOMA. IT'S DIFFERENT MERE. >> OUR TORNADOES ARE SO OFTEN RAIN WRAPPED. HB SUPER CELLS. HEAVY PRECIPITATION YOU CAN'T SEE ANYTHING. WE WILL TRY BUT CAN'T DO THAT. SO THE ADVICE HERE IS THAT IF YOU ARE IN THIS POLYGON JUST NE A SAFE PLACE. AGAIN THE HARDEST PART OF THIS IS THE FACT WE ARE ASKING PEOPLE NOT TO DRIVE. >> GOODNESS. IT'S 5:44 WEEKDAY. IMAGINE HOW MANY PEOPLE RIGHT NOW WITH NORMALLY BE ON U.S. 280 AND ON INTERSTATE 65. >> AND PROBABLY OUT THERE NOW. IF YOU ARE LISTENING TO PLEA ON OUR SUMMIT MEDIA PARTNERS. ALL THE FAMILY OF STATIONS AND IF YOU ARE IN A CAR WHAT I WILL ASK YOU TO DO TO STOP AT THE NEXT EXIST IT OR NEXT AVAILABLE PLACE. WHETHER IT'S CONVENIENCE STORE FAST FOOD RESTAURANT. GAS STATION. ANYWHERE. >> ANY PLACE BETTER PROTECTION THAN A CAR. YOU DON'T WANT TO BE IN A CAR. IF YOU GOT A LOVED ONE THAT IS DRIVING HOME FROM WORK OR A FRIEND MIGHT BE NOT PAYING ATTENTION TO THE WEATHER, CALL THEM AND LET THEM KNOW THEY DON'T NEED TO BE DRIVING. AND AGAIN 65, 459, 280. >> 59, 20. ALL THESE MAJOR THOROUGHFARES IN THIS TORNADO WARNING POLYGON. I WILL SAY THE TORNADO WARNING SIGNATURE IS NOT A CLASSIC. IT'S NOT. >> HAVING SAID THAT, THE WEATHER SERVICE BELIEVES AND WE DON'T ISSUE WARNINGS, THEY DO. ENOUGH DANGER TO WARRANT THIS WARNING. BEING ISSUED FOR THE BIRMINGHAM METRO. THIS IS THE ONLY WARNING WE HAVE IN THE ENTIRE STATE. I KNOW FOR SOME OF YOU IT'S RAINING. THUNDER LIGHTNING. THE BUT THAT'S THE DEAL. LET'S TAKE ME FULL SCREEN. A LOT OF PEOPLE GRIPE SHALL LIKES TO GRIPE BUT THREE CAN'T SEE THE RADAR WHEN WE ARE DOING DOUBLE BOXES. DO EVERYTHING TODAY. MAKE EVERYBODY HAPPY WHICH WE WILL NEVER DO BUT DO OUR BEST. POURING RAIN OUT HERE OTHER CONCERN IS FLOODING. I WOULDN'T BE SHOCKED IF WE HAD FLOODING SMALL HAIL. BELLS I AMERICA MIDFIELD. >> RIGHT DOWN THE 2059 CORRIDOR. IT'S JUST A QUAGMIRE. >> AND AGAIN WE HAVE SEEN FROM TIME TO TIME EVIDENCE BACK HERE IN THE SOUTHWESTERN FLANK POSSIBLE TORNADO AND THAT'S THE REASON FOR THIS TORNADO WARNING. >> BUT THERE COULD BE FLOODING ISSUES. LET'S GO BACK TO OUR VELOCITY DISPLAY. LOW LEVEL SAMPLE COMING FROM THE SHELBY COUNTY AIRPORT. IT REALLY IS BROAD. THE THIS IS NOT YOUR CLASSIC TURNED SIGNATURE. LOOKING TIGHTER. WE DON'T HAVE DEBRIS. IT'S NOT DOWN RIGHT BUT BASED HISTORY OF THIS THING AX THE WEATHER SERVICE BELIEVES ENOUGH DANGER TO PROMPT THIS TORNADO WARNING. >> SO THAT'S THE SITUATION. >> AND AS WE WILL GIVE YOU ALL CLEAR AS WE CAN. AS THIS THINGS MOVING ALONG QUICKLY. NORTH EAST ADD 60 MILES PER HOUR. >> NO STOPLIGHTS IN THE WEATHER BUSINESS. JUST KEEPS ON TRUCKING. IT WILL MOVE THROUGH QUICKLY. BUT AGAIN THAT BROAD CIRCULATION IS NEAR McDORY. COMING OUT HERE ACROSS OXMOOR VALLEY. >> AGAIN THIS JUST TO GET YOUR BEARINGS, INTERSTATE 459. THAT'S ALABAMA HIGHWAY 150. >> GOES FROM HOOVER BACK TO BESSEMER. 459. THE BROAD CIRCULATION JUST NOTER OF INTERSTATE 459 COMING THROUGH BESSEMER. TAY HIGH LYING INTERSTATE 459 FOR THOSE WATCHING ON THE TELEVISION SIDE. BUT THIS CIRCULATION COME THROUGH BESSEMER. OXMOOR VALLEY COMMUNITY OF SHANNON. COME OUT IN THE WESTERN PART OF HOOVER. MAYBE AROUND ROSS BRIDGE. >> THEN COMING UP ON TOP OF SHADES MOUNTAIN. AROUND BLUFF PARK COMING THROUGH PARTS OF HOOVER. VESTAVIA. IF THERE IS SOMETHING DOWN HERE, I DON'T KNOW THAT RIGHT NOW. >> I CAN'T TELL YOU THERE IS A TORNADO DOWN FOR SURE. I WISH I COULD. I HOPE THERE IS NOT A TORNADO DOWN. BUT AGAIN EVERYBODY GOT TO RESPECT POLYGON AND BELL IN SAFE PLACE UNTIL THIS THING IS CANCELED. WE ARE ALL COGNIZANT OF THE HIGH IMPACT TORNADO WARNING METRO AREA WILL BRING. TO FACILITIES LIKE HONORS. WE HAVE TO GO THROUGH THE TORNADO SAFE PLAN. IT IS BIG PAIN. WE UNDERSTAND THAT AND THE WEATHER SERVICE DOESN'T TAKE IT LIGHTLY THEY DON'T WANT TO ISSUE FALSE WARNINGS. WILL REDUCING FALSE ALARMS IS A BIG PRIORITY IN THE WEATHER BUSINESS. BUT AGAIN AT THE MOMENT CIRCULATION IS BROAD. NEWS FROM YOU? I'M NOT SEEING REPORTS OF DAMAGE. THIS IS A VERY POPULATED PART OF THE WORLD HERE. >> Meteorologist: NOT SEEING ANYTHING SO FAR. >> I HAVE NOT SEEN ANY EVIDENCE. MONITORING COEFFICIENT ON MY OTHER RADAR. HAVEN'T SEEN ANYTHING SHOWING UP FROM THAT. >> I UNDERSTAND LIKE YOU SAID IT'S VERY POPULATED AREA. IT'S NOT LOOKING LIKE CLASSIC TORNADO SIGNATURE. I HAVE BEEN GOING THROUGH TWITTER. OUR DIFFERENT CHAT ROOMS. GOING THROUGH ALL DIFFERENT KINDS OF STUFF AND NOT SEEING AT THIS POINT AND IF THIS CONTINUES TO BE THIS WAY, THAT IS THE BEST NEWS EVER. THAT WE HAVEN'T HAD DAMAGE FROM THIS. THAT'S WHAT WE HOPE THIS STAYS. >> BUT I AM GETTING REPORTS OF HEAVY RAIN. I HAVE SEEN SOME STRONG WINDS. >> THINGS LIKE THAT WHICH IS TO BE EXPECTED. WE DO HAVE A PRETTY GOOD SIGNATURE AT LEAST HEAVY RAIN AND HAIL. THIS IS OUR POWER CAMERA LOOKING BACK DOWN TOWARD THE [ INAUDIBLE ] LOOKING OVER DOWNTOWN BIRMINGHAM HERE. CAN'T SEE MUCH OF ANYTHING BECAUSE IT'S RAINING SO MUCH. >> SO LET'S TAKE A LOOK HERE AT THE REFLECTIVITY. >> THIS IS WA WE ARE LOOKING AT. HEAVY RAIN TO MIDFIELD HOMEWOOD VESTAVIA HILLS. SHANNON. HICKORY GROVER. >> WHERE WE GOT THIS PINKY WOULDN'T BE SURPRISED IF THERE IS HAIL FALLING. >> WE HAVE THE INDICATION OF SOME LIGHTNING STRIKES. THUNDER. >> BUT AS YOU MOVE DOWN I-20 KE KEEP POSSIBILITY OF THAT HEAVY RAIN FROM EASTERN VALLEY. OVER TOWARD BUCKSVILLE. THIS WILL KEEP MOVING NORTH EASTWARD. WHEN I KEEP PUTTING ON THIS -- VELOCITY, LOOKING AT THE REFLECTIVITY, I HAVEN'T SEEN ANYTHING TOO CONCERNING. MAYBE TRYING TO ROTATE A LITTLE BIT. >> DOWN HERE THAT LITTLE -- THESE STORMS ARE MOVING SO FAST. EVERY TIME TRYING TO STICKER EL SOMETHING, IT'S ALREADY MOVING BECAUSE THESE ARE MOVING AT 60 MILES PER HOUR. MOVING SO QUICKLY. THAT IS HIGHWAY SPEED. DRIVE DOWN I-65. 65 MILES PER HOUR AND WE ARE LOOKING AT RIGHT NOW NOT A SUPER STRONG INDICATION OF ROTATION. >> ALL OF THE DAMAGE REPORTS THAT I AM GETTING FROM SOME OF THOSE STORMS THAT WE HAD CONFIRMED TDS OR WE WERE ABLE TO COEFFICIENT. WHERE WE HAD SEEN SOME OF THAT -- >> Meteorologist: FOR THOSE JUST JOINING US, 5:51. I AM JAMES SPANN WITH TAYLOR SARALLO. WE ARE IN THE PROCESS OF WATCHING SEVERE STORM WITH POTENTIAL FOR TORNADO COMING THROUGH THE BIRMINGHAM. >> AND TAYLOR IS CIRCLING THIS HOOK ECHO. >> AGAIN THERE IS HOOK BUT NOT REALLY A VELOCITY SIGNATURE THAT CORRESPONDS WITH THAT. >> AGAIN THAT TO BE WATCHED. EVERYTHING IN HERE IS TO BE WATCHED CAREFULLY BUT AT THE MOMENT WE ARE JUST NOT SEEING REALLY DYNAMIC EVIDENCE OF A TORNADO. BUT STILL YOU KNOW WHAT I WILL SAY. SAYING THIS ALL DAY. IF YOU ARE IN ONE OF THESE POLYGONS YOU GOT TO STAY SHELTERED. I KNOW IT'S A PAIN. YOU MIGHT BE IN A CLOSET WITH A DOG THAT HAS GAS AND KIDS THAT ARE CRYING OR WHATEVER BUT YOU GOT TO STAY IN THERE. BECAUSE ANY MOMENT A TORNADO COULD FALL OUT OF THIS THING. THE IT'S BETTER TO BE SAFE. WE TALK ABOUT COURSE OF LEAST REGRET. AND THAT'S THE RIGHT COURSE OF ACTION ON A DAY LIKE TODAY. WE HAVE TREMENDOUS AMOUNTS OF RAIN FALLING. OXMOOR VALLEY. COMING OUT TOWARD THE 65 CORRIDOR. NO STRONG EVIDENCE OF TORNADO HERE. AGAIN WATCHING THIS LITTLE HOOK BACK LEAR SOUTH OF INTERSTATE 459 BUT NO STRONG EVIDENCE ON VELOCITY. TAKE THAT SKY CAM TOWER CAMINO REAL QUICK. LOOKING RIGHT BACK IN TO THIS FROM THE TOP OF THE RIVER CHASE GALLERIA. AGAIN JUST LIGHTNING IS ALMOST NONSTOP. >> AGAIN IF THERE WAS ANYTHING IN THERE IT'S RAIN WRAPPED. DAY WHERE I JUST CANNOT SHOW YOU THESE THINGS ON CAMERA. ALL THESE CHASERS COME DOWN HERE AND GET FLUSTERED. THEY LOOK LIKE ME. PULL THEIR HAIR OUT. GO TO KANSAS AND NEBRASKA IT'S EASY TO GET THEM ON CAMERA. HERE IT'S A BOOGER BECAUSE CAN'T SEE THEM. IT'S A DIFFERENT WORLD HERE. >> BUT AGAIN WE WILL KEEP AN EYE ON THAT. CAMERA CAREFULLY GO BACK TO RADAR. IF YOU ARE JUST JOINING US HERE I KNOW WE BE IN NEWSCAST. IN WEATHER COVERAGE FOR QUITE A WHILE. WE GOT A SEVERE STORM COMING THROUGH THE BIRMINGHAM RIGHT NOW. >> WITH BROAD ROTATION. VERY BROAD. I CAN'T SHOW YOU A SPECIFIC SPOT ON THAT MAP WHERE THERE MIGHT BE A TORNADO BECAUSE PROBABLY NOT ONE RIGHT NOW. >> THIS STORM HAS BEEN SICK LICK DAMAGE AND OTHER PARTS OF THE STATE. WEST ALABAMA AND AS THIS CAME UP IN THE SOUTHWEST PART OF THE BIRMINGHAM WEATHER SERVICE BELIEVED THE RIGHT THING TO DO ISSUE TORNADO WARNING. BASED ON WHAT THEY SEE. AT THE MOMENT I CAN'T SHOW YOU A SPECIFIC TORNADO HERE. IT'S BROAD. A LOT OF WIND. >> A LOT OF RAIN. YES. HAIL ABSOLUTELY. >> BUT AGAIN AT THE MOMENT I CAN'T CALL OUT A WAL-MART BARBECUE JOINT BECAUSE IT'S JUST VERY BROAD. BUT JUST BE AWARE THIS COULD PRODUCE, CAPABLE OF PRODUCING A TORNADO AS IT COMES THROUGH SOUTHERN PART OF BIRMINGHAM. DOWNTOWN. >> SOUTH DOWN I-65 DOWN TO RIVER CASE WHERE WE ARE IN HOOVER. STATION. THE IT INCLUDES LIE WAY 280. >> FROM DOWNTOWN BIRMINGHAM. RED MOUNTAIN EXPRESSWAY TO CHEST SEA. IT INCLUDES AREAS AS FAR EAST SHELBY COUNTY VAN DER VER. LEADS. IT INCLUDES TRUSSVILLE. IT'S BROAD. A LOT OF DAYS I CAN SHOW YOU REALLY, REALLY CAREFULLY AND CLOSELY TORNADO IS LOCATED BUT AGAIN BASED ON THIS RADAR WE JUST CAN'T DO THAT. >> AND THE BEST POSSIBLE SCENARIO IF WE COME ALONG HERE AND WEATHER SERVICE IT'S OKAY. WILL. >> WE HAVE SO MANY PEOPLE THAT ARE INVOLVED IN THIS. I MEAN THOUSANDS AND THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE IN THIS. IF THERE IS ANYTHING GOING ON, WE WOULD KNOW RIGHT AWAY. >> THE TWEETER, FACE BAG WOULD LIGHT UP AND RELATIVELY QUIET RIGHT NOW. >> PEOPLE ARE REPORTING HAIL. BEEN SOME MINOR WIND KNOWLEDGE DA. NOT WITH THIS STORM BUT EARLIER STORM UP INTERSTATE 22. MULTIPLE 18 WHEELERS OVERTURNED. THERE WAS AT LEAST ONE MINOR INJURY UP IN THAT REGION. OUR STEPHEN QUINN AND BILL CASTLE. AS SOON AS THIS SETTLES DOWN WE GO BACK TO THEM. BUT THAT WAS EARLIER TODAY. THAT STORM IS WEAKENED. REAL QUICK. BIG PICTURE. SHOW THE WHOLE MARKET HERE. SHOW FOR MOST OF YOU JUST A LOT OF RAIN. >> THIS IS IT BY THE WAY ONCE THIS PASSES THE RISK OF SEVERE WEATHER IS ENDED. RISK OF SEVERE WEATHER IS OVER. >> AGAIN ONCE THIS LINE PASSES THAT IS IT'S. THIS WILL NOT BE SOME ALL NIGHT EVENT ONLY WARNING ONLY ONE THE ONE FOR BIRMINGHAM. SOUTHERN PART OF THE METRO ANNISTON GADSDEN CULLMAN CLANTON JASPER TUSCALOOSA. YOU GOT THUNDER LIGHTNING. WINDY. RAINING. WEATHER NOT GOOD BUT THAT IS THE ONLY WARNING THAT WE HAVE. >> THE WEATHER SERVICE GOING TO CONTINUE TO CHOOSE TO CONTINUE IT FOR LITTLE LONGER. SO LET'S GO BACK TIGHT ON THE CIRCULATION. >> THIS THING MOVING NORTH EAST AT 60 MILES PER HOUR. THE INDIVIDUAL ELEMENTS OF THE STORM SO IF BY CHANCE THERE IS TORNADO THERE, IT'S MOVING AT 6. >> THE AIR IS MOVE STABLE TO THE EAST AND MOST LIKELY THIS WILL WEAKEN WITH TIME. >> BUT JUST POURING RAIN. POURING RAIN ACROSS THE SOUTHERN PART OF THE BIRMINGHAM METRO. BACK HERE IN THE BACK WE ARE JUST WATCHING SIGNS OF STRONG WIND OR TORNADO. >> WE CAN'T REALLY SEE THAT ON RADAR BUT FROM TIME TO TIME SEE AN INFLOW NOTCH. HOOK. SOME TYPE OF PATTERN BUT IT IS NOT BEEN CONFIRMED BY DAMAGE REPORTS THAT WE ARE SEEING. WHICH IS A GOOD THING. >> WE HOPE WE GET THROUGH THIS WHOLE THING WITHOUT MORE DAMAGE. WE HAVE HAD DAMAGE TODAY. >> PARTS OF FAYETTE COUNTY. NORTHERN JEFFERSON COUNTY. PARS OF WEST ALABAMA WITH DAMAGE BUT TO MY KNOWLEDGE NO INJURIES TODAY. EXCEPT I TAKE IT BACK MINOR ON INTERSTATE 22 WITH THOSE OVERTURNED 18 WHEELERS. BUT NO MAJOR INJURIES AND NOLOS OF LIFE. THAT'S THE GOAL OF EVERY TIME WE GET ON ON THE AIR AND WE DO THERE. >> WE ARE COMING UP ON 6:00. >> AGAIN IT'S JUST POURING. >> WE COULD SEE SOME FLOODING HERE FROM DOWNTOWN BIRMINGHAM SOUTH DOWN TOWARD VESTAVIA. HOMEWOOD. MOUNTAIN BROOK. HOOVER. >> CAHABA HEIGHTS. SHANNON. >> BESSEMER. IT IS JUST COMING DOWN. IT IS COMING DOWN LIKE A COW PEEING ON A FLAT ROCK. I'M A COUNTRY PERSON I CAN'T HELP IT. BUT WE MIGHT HAVE FLOODING ISSUES AND AGAIN LET'S LOOK AT OUR VELOCITY. AND I JUST ■DON'T SEE IT. AT THIS POINT. >> SO THAT'S REFLECTIVITY. CHANGE BACK TO VELOCITY AND WE GOT EVIDENCE OF STRONG WINDS. THE BUT TORNADO, WE WILL WATCH THROUGH HERE. KEEP WATCHING THIS SOUTHWESTERN FLANK OF THIS RIGHT IN THROUGH HERE BUT THAT'S MORE REPRESENTATIVE OF STRONG STRAIGHT LINE WINDS. OPPOSED TO TORNADO. BUT AGAIN UNTIL THIS GOALS -- GOES AWAY. IT'S NOT A CONVENIENT THING BUT PLEASE STAY SHELTERED. I PROMISE WE WILL LET YOU KNOW THE MINUTE YOU ARE CLEAR. YOU CAN GO BACK ABOUT YOUR BUSINESS AND A LOT OF PEOPLE WANT TO DO THAT. BUSY THURSDAY EVENING. >> AS SOON AS WE HAVE ALL CLEAR GIVE THAT TO YOU BUT AGAIN NO PART OF THE POLYGON HAS BEEN CLEARED YET. AND AGAIN THIS IS FOR SOUTHERN JEFFERSON AND NORTHERN SHELBY. >> AND IN TERMS OF THE BOUNDARY OF THE POLYGON SOUTHERN BOUNDARY ALONG LIE WAY 25 NOT TOO FAR FROM VINCENT. ON 280. AROUND FOREST LAKE NOT SUE FAR FROM CHELSEA. U.S. 31. WE ARE HERE AT THE TV STATION BACK DOWN TO CHEROKEE BEACH. THAT'S THE SOUTHERN BOUNDARY. NORTHERN BOUNDARY IS BASICALLY INTERSTATE 5920. DOWNTOWN BIRMINGHAM. P GREATEST CONCERN FOR ROTATION IS DOWN HERE NEAR INTERSTATE 459. COMING UP TOWARD PELHAM. SOUTHERN PART OF HOOVER. >> AGAIN WE ARE WATCHING WITH GREAT INTEREST. WINDY. IT IS TORRENTIAL BUT SO FAR WE HAVE NOT SEEN ANY SIGNIFICANT DAMAGE. THE. >> AT THIS POINT. WE HOPE IT STAYS THAT WAY. >> BUT AGAIN BETTER TO BE SAFE THAN SORRY. WE HAD TRAGIC LOSS OF LIFE HERE IN THE STATE WITHIN THE LAST FEW WEEKS. WE HAD THE LOSS OF LIFE IN SAWYERVILLE. THE FEW WEEKS AGO WITH CRITICAL INJURIES JUST DON'T WANT THAT TO HAPPEN TODAY. SO FAR THAT HAS NOT BEEN THE CASE ANY NEWS ON YOUR END? >> QUIET OVER HERE AS WELL. STILL GETTING REPORTS IN FROM SOME OF THOSE OTHER STORMS THAT WE WERE TRACKING. MORE PICTURES OF SOME TREES DOWN MINOR TREES DOWN LEAR AND THERE. >> ALSO A LOT OF FOLKS SAYING THE WINDS ARE STRONG. >> THAT TO BE EXPECTED WITH THIS AT LEAST VERY LEAST SEVERE THUNDER STORM. PRODUCING WINDS UP TO 60 MILES PER HOUR. LIKELY IN SOME LOCATIONS. WE HAVE THAT TORNADO WARNING. BUT AT THIS POINT WE AREN'T NECESSARILY ABLE TO PICK OUT AN EXACT SPOT WHERE WE WOULD SAY THIS LOOKS LIKE WHERE THERE COULD BE A TORNADO. >> RIGHT NOW IT'S MAINLY JUST BROAD ROTATION. VERY STRONG WIND. VERY HEAVY RAIN. ALSO PROBABLY SOME SMALL HAIL IN SOME LOCATIONS. I DID WANT TO TAKE YOU AND SHOW YOU THE TORNADO WATCH BECAUSE WE DO HAVE SOME COUNTIES THAT HAVE BEEN REMOVED FROM THAT WATCH. >> AS JAMES MENTIONED WHEN THIS LINE KEEPS MOVING THROUGH WE ARE GOING TO HAVE MORE AND MORE COUNTIES REMOVED FROM THAT. AT THIS POINT MARION WINSTON LAMAR YOU ARE DONE WITH THE TORNADO WATCH. YOU ARE DONE WITH THAT SEVERE THREAT. SO YOU ARE GOOD TO GO IN TERMS OF THE WEATHER THROUGH THE REST OF THIS EVENING. DONE WITH THE WORST OF IT AND START TO GET COLDER OVERNIGHT AND IN TO TOMORROW. REALLY NOTICE THAT TOMORROW. >> FOR THE REST OF US IF YOU ARE IN ONE OF THESE YELLOW COUNTIES WE ARE GOING TO STILL MONITOR WEATHER. I DO EXPECT THEM TO KEEP TRIMMING DOWN PICKENS PROBABLY NEXT. WALKER CULLMAN. AS THIS SYSTEM KEEPS MOVING TOWARD THE SOUTHEAST MORE AND MORE COUNTIES TRIMMED AWAY. >> AND IT DOES LOOK LIKE THIS IS GOING TO BE ONE OF THOSE NIGHTS THINGS ARE MOVING QUICKLY WHICH IS GOOD. I DON'T EXPECT THIS TO BE ONE OF THOSE NIGHTS HAVE TO STAY UP SUPER LATE WAITING FOR THE BAD WEATHER TO BE OVER. HOPEFULLY GET THIS OUT OF HERE WITHIN THE FLEX COUPLE OF HOURS GO TO BED AT NORMAL TIME DONE WITH THAT SEVERE THREAT. FINGERS CROSSED THAT THIS LINE KEEPSES MOVING AT PRETTY GOOD CLIP TOWARD THE EAST. THE. >> FOR NOW WE GOT THAT ONE SEVERE THUNDER STORM WARNING AND THEN THAT TORNADO WARNING. TAKE YOU DOWN TO THAT. >> GETTING MORE REPORTS IN BUT THOSE ARE FROM NORTHERN JEFFERSON COUNTY. >> AT THIS POINT ON THE REFLECTIVITY DOES THIS LOOK KIND OF SUSPECT? YES. BUT WHEN WE LOOK AT THE VELOCITY HAVEN'T SEEN ANYTHING TOO CONCERNING. AT TIMES SEE LITTLE BIT OF NOTCH HERE. BUT RIGHT NOW I DON'T SEE ANY IMMEDIATE CONFIRMATION OF A TORNADO PRESIDENT RAINING HEAVILY OVER TOWARD ACTON. >> LEEDS TRUSSVILLE YOU ARE SEEING SOME OF THAT REALLY HEAVY RAIN. YOU ARE ALSO STILL IN THAT POLYGON STAY IN THAT SAFE PLACE UNTIL THIS WARNING IS EITHER CANCELED OR ALLOWED TO EXPIRE. >> I THINK GO THROUGH 6:30 WHEN THIS IS -- >> Meteorologist: I DON'T THINK THEY WILL EXTEND THIS. >> AND I WILL SAY THAT ALMOST ALL THE REPORTS SPENT A FEW MINUTES AX LOOK AT REPORTING ON THE TWEETER. MOST PEOPLE ARE REPORTING WINDS 30, 40-MILE-PER-HOUR BRACKET UNDER SEVERE LIMITS. IT'S BAD BUT AGAIN IT'S NOT SEVERE LIMITS. AND AGAIN LIKE TAYLOR TALKED ABOUT JUST NO EVIDENCE OF A TORNADO HERE. WIND, YES. >> RAIN, ABSOLUTELY. >> POURING JUST POURING RAIN THROUGH HERE. >> BUT AGAIN THE EVIDENCE OF A TORNADO IS JUST NOT THERE. BUT STILL AS LONG AS THE WEATHER SERVICER KEEPS THAT POLYGON UP STAY SHELTERED AND STAY WITH YOU UNTIL THE WARNING GOES AWAY. >> UNTIL ALL THE WARNINGS GO AWAY. >> BEEN HERE FOR A FEW HOURS. AGAIN WE GOT A LOT OF PHOBES WITH LIVE VIDEO OF DAMAGE AND AS SOON AS WE FINISH OUR WEATHER COVERAGE WE WILL GO TO THEM SO YOU CAN SEE WHAT IS HAPPENING OTHER PARTS OF THE STATE. >> THE BIGGEST ISSUE SO FAR INVOLVES DAMAGE UP AT BOW LY SPRINGS AND THE TRUCK LARGE 18 WHEELERS OVER TURNED ON INTERSTATE 22 FROM THAT SAME STORM.

THE WARNING REMAINS IN PLACE FOR SOUTHERN JEFFERSON NORTHERN SHELBY. UNTIL STICKS 30:00. AGAIN HOPEFULLY ON BAILED ON THE LACK OF DAMAGE REPORTS AND THIS TYPE OF RADAR SIGNATURE, WEATHER SERVICE WILL LET THIS THING BE CANCELED SOON. >> I DO THINK WHILE WE GOT A SECOND, LET'S GO TO SOME IMAGES ON WEX05. >> THIS IS ALONG INTERSTATE 22. A LOT OF ISSUES ALONG 22 EARLIER FROM A STORM EARLIER TODAY. PROBABLY THE MOST SIGNIFICANT DAMAGE I HAVE SEEN. TREE BLOWN IN TO HOUSE IN EUTAW. GREENE COUNTY. >> I THINK THIS WAS NOT BECAUSE OF THUNDER STORMS, BECAUSE OF PRESSURE GRADIENT WINDS. NOT RELATED TO STORMS BUT THAT'S VERY SIGNIFICANT DAMAGE THERE. >> AGAIN A LOT OF SCENES LIKE THIS ACROSS THE BIRMINGHAM. BIG TREE LIMBS COMING DOWN WITH THESE STRONGER WIND GUSTS. BUT IN TERMS OF MAJOR STRUCTURAL DAMAGE, I JUST HAVEN'T SEEN ANY OF THAT. >> WHICH IS GREAT. THE SAME THING WHEN THIS CAME THROUGH TUSCALOOSA COUNTY. TUSCALOOSA COUNTY HAD THE SAME ISSUE. WENT THROUGH TORNADO WARNING THERE. AND SO FAR NO DAMAGE. A LOT OF THIS, HAIL. WE LOVE THAT WHEN YOU PUT OBJECT OF KNOWN SIZE AND PHOTOGRAPHER WITH HAIL SO WE CAN SEE HOW LARGE THE HAIL IS.

VERY DENSELY POPULATED PART OF THE WORLD, AND THE STORM HAD HISTORY OF PRODUCING SOME DAMAGE AX THE WEATHER SERVICE BELIEVED IT WAS THE RIGHT THING TO DO. SO AGAIN TORNADO WARNING CONTINUES IN EFFECT UNTIL 6:30. >> FOR THE SOUTH EASTERN PART OF OF THE BIRMINGHAM FOR THIS BROAD CIRCULATION. THAT IS NOW BASICALLY EAST OF U.S. HIGHWAY 280.

A LOT OF REALLY LARGE BUILDINGS. AGAIN IF YOU HAPPEN TO BE IN THERE, TRY TO FIND A SMALL PLACE. NOT REALLY LARGE AREAS. >> THIS RIGHT OFF HIGHWAY 78. >> THIS COULD BE, IF THIS IS TRUE, IT LOOKS LIKE ROTATION IS STARTING TO BROADEN OUT. >> WHICH IS GREAT. WHICH WOULD BE BEST CASE SCENARIO WE ARE GETTING THROWS REPORTS WRECK RIGHT HERE ON I-20. PEOPLE BACKED. BEST CASE SCENARIO IF THAT IS TRULY WHAT IS GOING ON. STILL SHOWING THAT CORRELATION COEFFICIENT BUT WE COULD STILL HAVE DEBRIS LOFTED IN THE AIR FROM WHEN IT WAS DOWN CLOSE TO LEEDS. LEEDS PROBABLY PARS OF LEEDS TOOK A HIT FROM A TORNADO. WE HAVE CREWS ON THE WAY. >> TO GO CHECK OUT THAT DAMAGE. >> GET US IMAGES LET US KNOW WHAT IS GOING ON. >> BUT WE WILL KEEP AN EYE ON VELOCITY. IF THIS IS THE CASE THIS WOULD BE A REALLY GOOD THING. IF THIS IS NO LONGER STRONG ROTATION AS IT'S MOVING OVER I-20 WHERE WE DO HAVE REPORTS OF BIG BACK UP ON THE INTERSTATE. THAT'S JUST OBVIOUSLY THE WORST CASE SCENARIO. >> RIGHT. WE DON'T EXPECT THESE LONG TRACK TORNADOES. THIS EVENING. >> AND THEY HAVE HAD HISTORY OF SPINNING UP AND SPINNING DOWN. LOOKS LIKE AGAIN DEBRIS STILL BEING LOFTED FROM EARLIER TORNADO BUT SURE LOOKS LIKE TAYLOR IN PROCESS OF SPINNING DOWN.

ROTATION FALLEN APART JUST LIKE THAT. >> SO THE AGAIN WEATHER SERVICE WILL REVIEW THIS AND AGAIN THERE IS YOUR DEBRIS STILL BEING LOFTED. BUT THE ROTATION IS GOING AWAY. DEBRIS IS DISSIPATING. TAKES A WHILE FOR IT'S TO COME BACK DOWN. SPIN DOWN. GOOD NEWS WE DON'T SEE ANY EVIDENCE THAT A TORNADO IS DOWN AT THIS POINT. >> EVEN THOUGH WE STILL HAVE THE DEBRIS SIGNATURE. >> LOOKS LIKE THE THING FALLING APART AND EVERYTHING IS SPINNING DOWN. WE ARE STARTING TO SEE A DROP IN CC. STARTING TO SEE THE LACK OF GOOD VELOCITY COUPLET GOOD THING HERE. >> SO AGAIN WE HAVE FLASH FLOOD WARNING FOR JEFFERSON. HANDLE THAT. WE GOT A LOT OF RAIN HERE. >> Meteorologist: WE WILL KEEP AN EYE ON WHAT IS GOING ON IN ST. CLAIR COUNTY. KEEP WATCHING THAT VERY CAREFULLY. >> BUT RIGHT NOW A LOT OF HEAVY RAIN.

CLAIR TORNADO WARNING. KEEP AN EYE HERE. >> LOOKS LIKE THIS IS STILL LOOKING FAIRLY WELL DEFINED IN TERMS OF THAT CC. MOVING OVER I-20. HOPING, HOPING THAT THIS IS DEBRIS JUST STILL LEFTOVER FROM WHEN THIS TORNADO WAS DOWN CLOSE TO LEEDS. BUT THERE IS POSSIBILITY AT THIS POINT STILL SEEING THAT DEBRIS SIGNATURE. TREAT THIS AS A TORNADO STILL DOWN AT THIS POINT. THAT MEANS LOCATIONS. IN THE PATH OF THIS. IF YOU ARE IN SAINT CLAIRE COUNTY BRANCHVILLE. ODEMVILLE MOVE OVER STATE ROUTE 174. >> IT GOING TO PASS BETWEENS BRANCHVILLE AND STEWART IN THE GENERAL DIRECTION OF WATTSVILLE. 231. WE ARE STILL WATCHING THIS. STILL VERY CLOSE TO BROMPTON. THAT'S EXIT THAT I HAVE BEEN OFF ON QUITE A FEW TRIPS. TO STOP THERE. AND THIS WILL KEEP MOVING IF IT HOLDS TOGETHER GENERAL DIRECTION OF ASHEVILLE AND RAGLAND. >> WE WILL BE WATCHING THIS IT WOULD STAY TO THE STOUT. I-59 NEAR SPRINGVILLE.

THE POTENTIAL FOR A TORNADO THAT IS MOVING THROUGH ST. CLAIR COUNTY. THERE IS DEBRIS STILL BEING LOFTED BY THE TORNADO. THE THE VELOCITY SIGNATURE IS WEAKENED. >> THE DEBRIS SEEMS TO BE DISSIPATING. LOOK AT OUR VELOCITY DISPLAY. JUST NOT ANYTHING HERE. I THINK WE HAVE HAD A VERY SIGNIFICANT TORNADO DOWN. AND IT'S DISSIPATED AND THE DEBRIS IS STILL FALLING BUT IT'S IN THE PROCESS OF THINNING OUT. >> AND AGAIN JUST NO EVIDENCE OF A TORNADO HERE AT THIS POINT. >> THE TORNADO IS GOING TO STAY IN PLACE.

BECAUSE OF A WRECK IN THE LAST THING YOU WANT WAS A TORNADO CROSSING HIGHWAY OR INTERSTATE 20. I DON'T THINK HAPPENED. I THINK THE TORNADO DISSIPATED WHICH IS CERTAINLY A GOOD THING BECAUSE THAT WAS VERY SCARY SITUATION. >> SO IT'S BEEN AGAIN WE WILL LOOK FOR REPORTS COMING IN FROM CAHABA VALLEY ROAD AND LEEDS TO SEE WHAT HAS HAPPENED THERE IN TERMS OF DAMAGE. WE WILL KNOW SOON WA HAS HAPPENED AND WE GOT A LOT OF REPORTERS DOWN THERE AND FOLKS ON SOCIAL PLEAD YEAH LETTING US KNOW LET YOU KNOW AS SOON AS WE KNOW.

SO WHAT LOOKS TO BE VERY SIGNIFICANT TORNADO CAME DOWN LIE WAY 119 FROM GRAY STONE DOWN TOWARD LEEDS. DISSIPATED JUST EAST NORTH EAST OF LEEDS AND NOW WE HAVE NO EVIDENCE OF A TORNADO IN PROGRESS. >> THE WARNING FOR ST. CLAIR COUNTY IS SCHEDULED TO EXTEND UNTIL 7:00 FOR THE NEXT 24 MINUTES. AND AGAIN THE WEATHER SERVERS MADE A GOOD CALL. BIRMINGHAM METRO WITHOUT REALLY STRONG SIGNATURE. RAMMED UP QUICK. SAME THING MIGHT HAPPEN HERE. AIR IS MORE STABLE HERE.

WE HAD A TORNADO DEBRIS SIGNATURE VERY CLOSE TO THE CITY OF LEADS AND WE GOT A CREW ON THE WAY. THEY ARE GOING TO BE ARRIVING SHORTLY AND PROVIDING US WITH MORE INFORMATION ON WA EXACTLY HAPPENED THERE BUT JUST BASED ON THE FACT WE COULD SEE THAT DEBRIS SIGNATURE WE KNOW THAT THERE WERE ITEMS LOFTED IN THE ATMOSPHERE WHETHER THAT BE TEAM LIMBS PARTS OF PEOPLE'S HOMES PARTS OF PEOPLE'S LIVES WE ARE NOT GOING TO KNOW UNTIL WE GET MORE INFORMATION FROM SOME OF THOSE EMERGENCY MANAGERS OR OUR CREWS ARE ON THE WAY AND PASSING ALL OF THAT INFO ALONG TO YOU AS SOON AS WE GET THAT HERE. GOOD NEWS THE TREND IS IMPROVING. >> THAT DID DROP THAT TORNADO CLOSE TO LEEDS. >> KEEP AN EYE ON THAT. NOW KIND OF SHIFTING TOWARD A FLOODING PROBLEM MANY FOR MUCH OF CENTRAL ALABAMA. WE GOT QUITE A FEW OF OUR COUNTIES IN THESE FLASH FLOOD WARNINGS. THOSE LITTLE GREEN BOXES YOU ARE SEEING ARE FLOOD ADVISORIES. FLASH FLOOD WARNING MEANS THAT FLASH FLOODING IS POSSIBLE OR IS ALREADY HAPPENING. >> AND THAT'S WHEN WE SEE THAT BIG RUSH OF WATER THAT COVERS THE ROAD. WE DON'T WANT YOU DRIVING OVER ROADS IF YOU DON'T HAVE TO. ESPECIALLY BECAUSE IT'S JUST DARK OUT THERE. BUT WE GOT THE FLASH FLOOD WARNING THAT INCLUDES PARTS OF FAYETTE. WALKER TUSCALOOSA. IN TO JEFFERSON. ALSO PARTS OF BLOUNT COUNTY. >> IF YOU ARE JUST JOINING US THE WEATHER SERVICER CANCELED THE TORNADO WARNING FOR SAINT CLAIRE.

WE STILL GOT A TORNADO WATCH FOR TUSCALOOSA, BIRMINGHAM ONEONTA POINTS SOUTH AND EAST. WATCH CANCELED. RISK OF SEVERE WEATHER IS OVER. >> WINSTON AND MARION COUNTIES. YOUR RISK SEVERE WEATHER IS OVER AND SOON WE WILL BE ABLE TO CLEAR TUSCALOOSA JEFFERSON BLOUNT THE STORMS SHIFTED TO THE EAST AND SOUTH OF THOSE CITIES. AND IT'S SOMEWHAT OF MARGINAL THREAT. >> TORNADO WATCH. BUT THE INSTABILITY VALUES MUCH LOWER. AND THE CONDITIONS ARE NOT AS FAVORABLE HERE AS WHAT WE HAD EARLIER. SO THAT'S THE SITUATION. SO AGAIN WHAT I AM GOING TO DO IS LET YOU TALK FOR A MINUTE. I WILL CUE UP SOME OF THE IMAGES I HAVE FROM THE DAMAGE AND I WILL GO THROUGH THOSE IN JUST A SECOND. LET YOU DO ON OVERVIEW. >> Meteorologist: ASHLEY GOODEN REPORTER THAT WILL BE HEADING ON HER WAY TO LEEDS TO CHECK ON THINGS. GET A LOOK AT THE BIG TICK TUR -- PICTURE. >> WE ARE ONLY PART OF ALABAMA HAS ANY TYPE OR NOW DONE WITH OUR WARNINGS. THAT'S BEEN CANCELED. WE GOT FLASH FLOOD WARNINGS. WE DON'T HAVE ANY SEVERE THUNDER STORM WARNINGS NO TORNADO WARNINGS. >> IN THAT MAIN LINE MOVING THROUGH NOW. WHAT YOU ARE GETTING RIGHT NOW ACROSS CENTRAL ALABAMA THAT ONE BAND HEAVY RAIN THAT IS THE SEVERE THREAT. ONCE THAT MOVES THROUGH, YOU ARE DONE WITH THAT. >> SO IT DOESN'T LOOK LIKE IT'S GOING TO BE ONE OF THOSE NIGHTS WE ARE HEAR REALLY LATE IN TO THE NIGHT. TRACKING THOSE SYSTEMS. BE ABLE TO GO TO BED WHICH IS GOOD. EVERYBODY SOME TIMES MAKES YOU NERVOUS WAIT UP FOR THE WATCHES TO COME TO END. >> WHAT YOU DO HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT IS THE FLASH FLOODING AND I KNOW SOME TIMES YOU HEAR FLOODING AND DON'T THINK IT'S A BIG DEAL BUT FLOODING IS A BIG DEAL MANY IF YOU ARE DRIVING THROUGH THAT FLOODING YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT THAT ROAD LOOKS LIKE. REALLY IMPORTANT WE ASK YOU TO NOT TO DRIVE OVER THE FLOODED ROADS. INCONVENIENT. BUT THE BEST COURSE OF ACTION FIND A DIFFERENT ROUTE. EVEN IF IT TAKES YOU LONGER BECAUSE IT IS WORTH IT. TO SAVE YOUR LIFE OR THE LIFE OF OTHERS. >> IT'S JUST NOT WORTH IT RISKING TO DRIVE OVER SOME WATER. >> LET'S LOOK AT THE RADAR. TALK ABOUT WHERE IT'S RAINING BECAUSE IT'S RAINING REALLY HEAVY. EUTAW BLINDING RAIN LIKELY RIGHT NOW TO MOUNDVILLE. JUST SOUTH OF DOWNTOWN TUSCALOOSA. THE REALLY HEAVY BAND OF RAIN. >> ALSO APPROACHING LAKE VIEW, ADAMSVILLE. IT IS JUST NORTH OF DOWNTOWN BIRMINGHAM MOVING IN TO DOWNTOWN BIRMINGHAM NOW. >> GRAYSVILLE FULTONDALE MANY WARRIOR TRUSSVILLE MANY MARGARET. ASHEVILLE STEAL. CALLING ALL THESE CITIES WHERE IT'S RAINING HARD. WE KNOW. WE CAN HEAR IT'S. I BET THERE IS PROBABLE PLY GUSTY WINDS. I BET THERE IS A LOT OF THUNDER. BUT THERE IS NO SEVERE THUNDER STORM WARNINGS OR NO TORNADO WARNINGS. THESE STORMS ARE BELOW SEVERE LIMITS. WHICH IS THE BEST NEWS WE HAVE BEEN ON FOR QUITE A FEW HOURS. >> SHOW SOME IMAGES. >> KIND OF TALK ABOUT WHAT HAS HAPPENED. >> YOU CAN SEE THAT GAS STATION IS SUFFERED A LOT OF DAMAGE. >> I DON'T KNOW THE LOCATION. >> THAT'S EXAMPLE OF THE KIND OF DAMAGE. >> AGAIN THIS IS WHAT IT LOOKED LIKE U.S. 78 OR ALABAMA FIVE. NEAR INTERSTATE 22. >> A LOT OF DAMAGE THERE. THE. >> AGAIN THIS PROBABLY SOME OF THE MOST SIGNIFICANT DAMAGE. THAT'S A TREE THROUGH A HOUSE IN EUTAW GREENE COUNTY. I REALLY THINK THAT WAS NOT RELATED TO THUNDER STORMS. RELATED TO GRADIENT WINDS. >> NOT HEARD OF ANYBODY INJURED THERE. BUT AGAIN WE HAD SO MANY IMAGES LIKE THIS FROM AROUND THE STATE LARGE TREE LIMBS THAT ARE DOWN. WE HAVE MORE DAMAGE FROM AREAS NEAR LEEDS. WE HAVE BILL AND STEVEN HEADED THERE. AS SOON AS WE HEAR FROM THEM WE WILL LET YOU KNOW. IT'S BEEN A ROUGH DAY BUT COULD HAVE BEEN WORSE. WE HEARD OF NO MAJOR INJURIES. WILL THERE WERE SOME INJURIES OUT THERE INTERSTATE 22. SHOW YOU IN A MINUTE. COMING FROM BOWLY SPRINGS. TORNADO DAMAGE. FAR EASTERN PART OF FAYETTE COUNTY. WE STU A TORNADO DEBRIS SIGNATURE AT THAT POINT. WE KNEW DEBRIS WAS BEING LOFTED. AGAIN THIS IS LOOK AT JUST VERY MESSY EVENING FOR TRAVELERS. IT'S BEEN SO ROUGH AND WE KNOW THERE HAS BEEN BACK UP ALONG INTERSTATE 20. THANKS FLY THE TORNADO LIFTED BEFORE CROSSING INTERSTATE 20 TO THE BEST OF OUR KNOWLEDGE. AND AGAIN A LOT OF TREES AND LIMBS ARE DOWN. IF YOU ARE TRAVELING TONIGHT BE AWARE OF THAT. IT'S POURING RAIN. WE GOT THESE LARGE TREE LIMBS DOWN AND SOME TREES ARE DOWN ACROSS ROADS. AND AT NIGHT WITH IT RAINING IT IS VERY HARD TO SEE THAT. SO IF YOU ARE TRAVELING BE CAREFUL. HERE IS LOOK AT SOME OF THE STRONGER WINDS COMING THROUGH WEST ALABAMA EARLIER TODAY. >> AND EDGE AWAY FROM THE STORMS WE HAD GRADIENT IP WINDS GUSTING TO 35, 40 MILES PER HOUR. >> THIS IS WHAT THAT STORM LOOKED LIKE SOUTHWEST OF TUSCALOOSA. TORNADO WARNINGS FOR VERY DENSELY POPULATED PARTS OF THE STATE. >> AT ONE POINT TUSCALOOSA COUNTY WAS UNDER TORNADO WARNING. >> WE HEARD NO MAJOR DAMAGE IN TUSCALOOSA COUNTY FROM THAT STORM. THE BIRMINHAM METRO UNDER TORNADO WARNING. THE MOST SIGNIFICANT DAMAGE WE THINK WITH THE JEFFERSON COUNTY STORM CAME NEAR LEEDS. FROM NEAR GRAY STONE BACK UP HIGHWAY 119 TO LEEDS. AS WE GET REPORTS ON WHAT HAS HAPPENED LET YOU KNOW. A LOT OF HAIL TODAY. HAIL THE SIZE OF QUARTER. HAD THAT IN VARIOUS PARTS OF THE STATE. >> TRAMPOLINES AND ALABAMA WEATHER NOT A GOOD MIX.

GETS EVERYBODY'S ATTENTION. THAT'S A GUIDE LINE. IT'S IMPORTANT TO LOOK AT THOSE BUT DON'T GET TOO HUNG UP IN THE COLOR AND RISK LEVELS AND JUST KNOW THERE IS CHANCE OF SEVERE WEATHER. >> BUT THEY HAVE TAKEN OUT THE ENHANCED RISK.
