Our broken line of thunderstorms extends from near Gadsden to Springville in St. Clair County to just west of Bessemer to near Eutaw.
A new severe thunderstorm warning has just been issued for the storm approaching US-231 between Ashville and Wattsville.
There are severe thunderstorm warnings for Greene and Hale Counties for the storm near Eutaw.
The storm near Centreville has a severe thunderstorm warning on it as well.
There have been several reports of large hail and a few reports of trees down across the area.
Instability values have fallen a little bit and are in the 500-1,000 joules range ahead of the line. The bulk wind shear has weakened a bit, although storms will be organized enough to be severe for the time being. But low level helicity values have plummeted, which means the tornado threat is substantially reduced.
Tornado watch continues right along and just ahead of the line and a severe thunderstorm watch is out ahead of the line.
The front is right behind the line of storms. Look at the dewpoint at Oxford MS (30F) compared to the 63F at Jasper.
