In addition to the main line of storms in west Alabama, th estorms in northwest Monroe and northern Mobile counties are producing quite a bit of lightning.
These storms out ahead of the main line remain well below severe limits. https://t.co/PBuLl1AD93

Unlike just a few days ago when storms ran AHEAD of schedule, storms tonight are running behind schedule.
The flip side to this is that, so far, storms in southeast Mississippi are “behaving” more than storms to the north. Hopefully that trend continues! https://t.co/YMJQMj6cxY

If you look closely at the end of the loop, we’re seeing the beginnings of small showers across the region. Some warm air aloft in the atmosphere may help to prohibit supercell development, but we need to watch how these small showers develop out ahead of the main line of storms. https://t.co/5U8C52LvJU
