Northwestern Alabama is currently under a severe thunderstorm watch until 7 PM Tuesday. The National Weather Service (NWS) has issued this alert due to the possibility of experiencing damaging winds, large hail, and isolated tornadoes in the area.
The National Weather Service (NWS) warns that wind gusts could potentially reach speeds of up to 70 mph, while hailstones may grow to a diameter of 1.5 inches. This powerful storm system has a significant impact, spanning across a wide area encompassing 60 miles in both the eastern and western directions of a line extending from Cincinnati, OH, to Nashville, TN.
Residents in the watch area of Alabama should stay updated with local weather updates and be prepared to seek shelter in case conditions deteriorate. Strong winds could knock down trees and power lines, and property damage may occur due to large hail.
