..March will come in like a lion today..  The latest future radar will show you the progress of the squall line crossing the state today with a damaging wind threat.  We have the updated Severe Weather threat from the Storm Prediction Center.  Another change sharply cooler is on the menu as we approach the weekend.  And, more.  Another storm threat about 7 days away…as we remember a terrible anniversary from 10 years ago today.

Here’s the updated severe risk from the Storm Prediction Center.  It shows the Slight Risk area as far south as Montgomery, and the Marginal Risk through the Wiregrass counties.  Damaging winds and Large Hail are the main threats.  The tornado threat is low, but not zero.   More than 20 tornadoes occurred in the Midwest yesterday and overnight.

 

 

10 years ago…2007…DATELINE ENTERPRISE ALABAMA.  12:53PM.  And EF-4 tornado touches down near the airport, and moves NE.  The Tornado scored a direct hit on Enterprise High, collapsed parts of the building’s science wing, third hallway and new gym. 8 students died.  One other Enterprise resident died.  Second EF-4 in Alabama on that Terrible Thursday.  4 people died in Wilcox county as well.  Alabama was under an SPC High Risk that day.
