Lightning Alert

Closest strike: 2.62 miles Stay Alert! Remain in a safe area until there has been no lightning within 10 miles of this location for 30 minutes. Please be aware that lightning activity can remain high even when a storm is moving away from your location. Even if rain has stopped, do not leave your safe area until WeatherBug indicates that lightning is more than 10 miles away from this selected location. IF OUTDOORS Avoid water, high ground, and open spaces. Avoid all metal objects including electric wires, fences, and machinery. Find a safe area in a building or in a fully enclosed vehicle with the windows completely shut. Unsafe places include underneath canopies, small picnic or rain shelters, convertibles, or near trees. IF INDOORS Avoid water and stay away from doors and windows. Avoid using a hard line telephone. Take off headphones. Turn off, unplug, and stay away from appliances, computers, power tools, and TV sets. Lightning may strike exterior electric and phone lines, inducing shocks to inside equipment.

Severe Storm Risk

Mon 6:00 PM - Tue 5:00 AM

There is a Marginal Severe Storm Risk for your location. Continue reading for today's outlook from the National Weather Service's Storm Prediction Center. -------------------- National Severe Storm Outlook THERE IS A SLIGHT RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS FROM THE LOWER MISSISSIPPI VALLEY TO NORTHWEST GEORGIA SUMMARY Isolated severe thunderstorms remain possible this evening from the lower Mississippi Valley to northwest Georgia. 01z Update Gulf State: Convection that developed over southeast OK/AR earlier this morning has grown upscale as it spread across the Mid-South region. This MCS is now spreading across northern AL and appears to be gradually expanding in areal extent. Earlier supercell structures have mostly merged within the broader precip shield, and latest MESH cores support this with hail signatures primarily below severe levels. As the MCS propagates downstream, locally damaging winds, and marginal severe hail will be the primary concerns. Farther south across the lower MS Valley, both JAN and LIX exhibit strong deep layer shear and modest-strong buoyancy. Scattered robust convection persists along this corridor, driven in part by weak low-level warm advection and diurnal heating. For the next few hours, isolated severe will continue within this environment, but nocturnal cooling should lead to few storms by mid evening, along with weaker convection. Southern AZ: Scattered convection has developed along the northern periphery of an upper low advancing east across northwest Mexico. This activity will continue spreading north this evening as favorable large-scale ascent is noted near the international border. Nocturnal cooling should lead to weaker updrafts and the overall risk of damaging winds/large hail should gradually wane with time.
