Numerous tiny showers have popped up across Escambia County, AL and NW Florida… Just rain for now, although I wouldn't be shocked to see some lightning soon. pic.twitter.com/48sbkvpHdb

Don't get caught up in the numbers, colors, and level numbers… Most important thing is to know there's a substantial severe weather risk across north/central Alabama today. Here's what the risks mean… Levels 3 & 4 for north AL. Levels 1 & 2 for south AL & NW FL. pic.twitter.com/uN8c38lXEV

Can't forget about the risk of LARGE HAIL today as well! Baseball size hail possible across the northern third of Alabama. Projected soundings/hodographs have suggested this for many hours with strong confidence. Put your vehicle in a garage/shelter if possible! pic.twitter.com/UQI8mMgjo7

Here are the tornado probabilities that caused SPC to upgrade north Alabama into the Level 4 risk zone… 10-15% may not sound like a lot, but that's a large percentage for a chance of a tornado within 25 miles of a given point. BE READY! pic.twitter.com/I0glP07vpe
