Spotty storms in Mississippi are developing out ahead of the main batch of storms. Most of these will likely remain below severe limits.

Main batch of storms is near Alexandria and Lake Charles in Louisiana as of 6:03PM.

Storms will continue moving east toward SW AL & NW FL. https://t.co/KD3iFQd1D3

I am becoming increasingly concerned about the potential for widespread power outages across south Alabama and northwest Florida overnight due to trees being knocked down by strong to severe storms.

Please heed all warnings tonight – including severe thunderstorm warnings! https://t.co/rNrwAnm3f9

Main concern overnight will very likely be damaging wind gusts capable of knocking down trees.

A few tornadoes may also happen.

We encourage everyone to have multiple ways to hear warnings overnight! https://t.co/H40sjF1WeA

Always good ahead of a severe weather event to review your PLAN for where you would go and what you would do if a tornado warning is needed for your area.

Folks with a PLAN have better outcomes in these situations than folks who don’t know in advance what they would do.

Strong to severe thunderstorms are likely to move from west to east across south Alabama and northwest Florida TONIGHT from midnight to 6AM.

Damaging wind gusts are LIKELY at times. Tornadoes will be possible as well. https://t.co/mDmoNlk5wh

Thunderstorms near Houston, Texas extending north to Shreveport continue to organize and push eastward. A Tornado Watch is in effect for parts of east Texas and western Louisiana as of 2:11PM.

This is the part of the storm system that will ultimately move across south Alabama https://t.co/5gVhZGPxvH
