When
and Where
Already
seeing a band of thunderstorms in central Alabama this morning, and expect it
to enter northwest Georgia around sunrise and continue south/east across the
state through Sunday evening. A Tornado Watch is in place for most Alabama
counties already this morning, and several tornado warnings were issued
overnight.
In addition
to the severe threat, winds will remain high outside the storms due to the
pressure gradient over the region. As a result, a Wind Advisory has been issued
for all of north and central Georgia through 10 PM tonight.
