ALABAMA — A low-end severe weather threat continues across parts of Alabama, with nearby concerns extending into Mississippi and Louisiana, as early-morning storms remain largely disorganized. As of 2:30 a.m. Central Time, conditions across Alabama are mostly quiet, and there are no active tornado warnings anywhere in Alabama, Mississippi, or Louisiana.
Earlier Tornado Warning in Mississippi Has Been Canceled
An earlier tornado warning south of Jackson, Mississippi, was issued overnight after a storm briefly showed concerning characteristics. That warning has since been canceled, and no additional tornado warnings are in effect across the region at this time.
Radar imagery shows widespread rain and embedded thunderstorms stretching from Louisiana through Mississippi and into northern and central Alabama, but most storms have remained below severe thresholds so far. Forecasters note that storm intensity has fluctuated but has not yet produced sustained rotation.
Low-End Tornado Risk Continues Through Mid-Morning
Despite the relatively quiet radar presentation, meteorologists caution that the severe weather threat is not over. A low-level jet is expected to strengthen toward daybreak, interacting with a somewhat unstable air mass, particularly over southern Alabama.
As this jet intensifies, there remains a possibility of one or two isolated tornadoes developing over the next few hours. The threat is considered low-end, meaning widespread severe weather is not expected, but brief, fast-developing tornadoes cannot be ruled out, especially within embedded supercell structures.
Flood Watch Remains in Effect for Much of Alabama
In addition to the tornado concern, a Flood Watch remains in effect for the northern two-thirds of Alabama. Repeated rounds of moderate to heavy rainfall overnight have increased the risk of localized flooding, particularly in low-lying and poor-drainage areas…
