Thunderstorms are approaching Greenville, Georgiana, and Chapman in Butler County as of 5:05PM. Heavy rain and storms are about to inundate much of the Interstate 65 corridor south of Montgomery.

Some of the most intense thunderstorms currently affecting Alabama are situated over Lake Martin, Alexander City, and much of Tallapoosa County in central Alabama. Significant Weather Advisories continue for much of Tallapoosa and Elmore counties, meaning storms here are quite strong and just under severe limits.

This main line of thunderstorms is also sliding through Montgomery and Wetumpka, bringing very heavy rain and intermittent lightning to Alabama’s capital city.

Here’s a radar view from KMXX (Maxwell Air Force Base radar in northern Macon County) as of 5:05PM…

Heavy rain and storms are starting now near Poarch, Huxford, and Atmore along Alabama Highway 21. These storms are associated with the main line of thunderstorms that are progressively moving from west to east across our area.

Pop up showers continue to dot the landscape out ahead of this main line of storms. At the time of this update as of 4:41PM, we note showers are happening near McDavid, Century, Flomaton, Kirkland, Bradley, Repton, and Burnt Corn.

Storms will move through much of Escambia and Conecuh counties in Alabama over the next 1-2 hours. Brewton, Evergreen, Flomaton, Pineview, Evergreen, Lenox, Owassa, Castleberry, Boykin, Brooklyn, Johnsonville… This means the main of storms will be moving through your area in the next 90 minutes or so.

The low-end severe weather risk continues over the next 3-4 hours across much of our area due to a potential for damaging straight line wind gusts. Please have a way to receive warnings. I should be able to give a “severe weather all clear” by 8PM.
