Severe Weather Threat Moves Southeast, Today/Another Round Possible Sunday Night

The first round of severe weather has exited the Mid-South and Tennessee Valleys but is not progressing southeastward into Georgia and central/southern Alabama. A tornado watch remains in effect for much of northern Georgia and Alabama through noon CT.  Gusty winds, heavy rains and isolated tornadoes are the main concern with these storms.

9am CT

This is not the end of the severe weather threat completely. A new round of storms will arrive with yet another cold front Sunday night through Monday morning. Right now the timing looks similar to this event. Conditions will be similar, too, providing for a threat of damaging winds and isolated tornadoes.

Be prepared for any potential severe weather. Make sure you have ways to be notified of impending severe weather.  I highly recommend WeatherCall as the source you should depend on for your weather alerts and warnings. For a minimal fee it will contact you only when a warning is issued for your location so you don't have to worry about being awoken or alarmed by the weather radio for storms miles away. As a meteorologist, I would not recommend a weather safety product unless I was convinced it is a life saver. After the tornadoes of 2011 it became evident on just how life saving WeatherCall is.

Additionally, after living through the tornadoes that impacted northern Alabama last Spring and left us in the dark for days, I recommend an emergency crank radio that will keep you informed even with the power is out. This is the one I purchased for my family and recommend to you. It is manufactured by Midland who is the name to buy for weather radios.
