Monitoring A Developing Line Of Rain/Storms-Tornado Watch Arkansas/Oklahoma

What a night for the interior United States. A tornado watch has been posted for portions of Arkansas and Oklahoma, while blizzard conditions are impacting Kansas, Nebraska, and Iowa. A line of strong storms is developing along our advertised cold front, east of Oklahoma City. This is the line that will impact Alabama starting early tomorrow.

I still think we are in good shape with regard to timing. The line will enter West Alabama around sunrise and reach the Cullman/Birmingham/Alabaster/Clanton (I-65) corridor by 10 AM. The line should reach eastern areas by noon or soon after.

I included an analysis map from the Storm Prediction Center and you can notice a thin corridor (highlighted in dark green) where low level moisture is trying to recover ahead of the storms. The warm/moist southerly flow simply won?t have time to charge up the low levels overnight so this will help our area by keeping the severe threat marginal. That said, we still can?t rule out one or two severe storms tomorrow, with strong winds. Don?t miss Fox 6 news at 9 and 10 PM as we take a closer look at the developments to our west.
