BREAKING WEATHER INFORMATION FROM DALLAS COUNTY EMA:
Published 12:00 am Thursday, May 15, 2008
AS SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS
STREAM OUT OF EASTERN MISSISSIPPI. ADDITIONAL RAINFALL OF AMOUNTS
WILL AVERAGE AROUND ONE TENTH OF AN INCH…HOWEVER…SOME HEAVIER
SHOWERS MOVING ALONG THE INTERSTATE 20 59 CORRIDOR MAY BRING BETWEEN
ONE HALF AND ONE INCH OF RAINFALL TO SOME LOCATIONS. OCCASIONAL
SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS ARE EXPECTED TO CONTINUE THROUGH THE
MORNING…AND STRONG TO SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS ARE POSSIBLE BY EARLY
AFTERNOON.
THERE IS A SLIGHT RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS ALL OF CENTRAL
ALABAMA TODAY AND TONIGHT. ALTHOUGH THUNDERSTORMS ARE EXPECTED ACROSS
MUCH OF THE AREA THROUGHOUT TODAY AND INTO TONIGHT…THE GREATEST
THREAT APPEARS TO BE BETWEEN 1 PM AND 7 PM…AS A CLUSTER OF STORMS
MOVES ACROSS THE STATE. THE MAIN THREAT WILL BE DAMAGING WINDS AND
HEAVY RAINFALL WHICH COULD LEAD TO LOCALIZED FLASH FLOODING.
HOWEVER…THERE IS STILL A SMALL CHANCE THAT AN ISOLATED OR EMBEDDED
SUPERCELL COULD DEVELOP…CAPABLE OF PRODUCING LARGE HAIL AND
TORNADOES. THE THREAT FOR SEVERE WEATHER IS EXPECTED TO DIMINISH
AFTER SUNSET WITH THE LOSS OF DAYTIME HEATING.
