TO DO. NOW THAT THE TORNADO WARNINGS OVER. BUT WITH THE TORNADO WARNING ENDING FOR CHEROKEE COUNTY, I DO WANT US AND C C TAYLOR PUTTING TOGETHER A FEW THINGS TO KIND OF GET US THROUGH UNTIL TOMORROW TO TALK ABOUT WHAT THE WEATHER IS GOING TO DO. SO I WANT TO TOSS OVER TO TAYLOR HERE IN JUST A MOMENT. BUT IF WE DO WANT TO GO AHEAD AND DO THE NEWSCAST, YOU GUYS JUST SOMEBODY MAKE A CALL THAT’S GOT A HIGHER PAY GRADE THAN ME AND WE’LL WE’LL DO WHATEVER YOU ASK. SO HEAVY THUNDERSTORMS ARE STILL IN PROGRESS HERE IN TAYLOR. AS SOON AS YOU’RE READY, YOU JUST LET ME KNOW AND WE’LL WE’LL COME OVER THERE TO YOU AND WE’LL KIND OF GET A WRAP UP ON WHAT’S BEEN HAPPENING TODAY AND KIND OF A LOOK AHEAD INTO THE NEXT COUPLE OF DAYS AROUND HERE. AND BEYOND THAT, I DO THINK WE’RE GOING TO BRING BACK SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS AS WE GO INTO THE WEEKEND. WIDESPREAD HEAVY DOWNPOURS NOT EXPECTED FOR THE NEXT FEW DAYS AFTER TONIGHT. SO WE’RE NOT WE’RE NOT GOING TO DO THAT. ALL RIGHT. GREAT. SO TAYLOR, IF YOU’RE READY, LET ME TOSS OVER TO YOU AND WE’LL TALK THROUGH A LITTLE BIT OF THE STUFF THAT’S COMING DOWN THE ROAD. YEAH. SO I WAS JUST KIND OF PUTTING SOMETHING TOGETHER JUST TO LOOK BACK AT THE LAST SIX HOURS HERE. AND YOU CAN SEE ALL THOSE SUPERCELLS THAT FORMED OVER NORTH ALABAMA. WE HAD MULTIPLE CONFIRMED TORNADOES OVER NORTH ALABAMA TODAY. AND I ASSUME WE’RE GOING TO BE GETTING MORE REPORTS OF SOME OF THE DAMAGE THAT HAPPENED WITH THOSE CONFIRMED TORNADOES OVER NORTH ALABAMA TODAY. IT WAS A REALLY ROUGH RIDE FOR A LOT OF FOLKS OVER NORTH ALABAMA. THE YELLOW BOXES HERE ARE THE TORNADO WATCH THAT IS STILL IN PROGRESS THROUGH 1 A.M. THAT IS LIKELY TO KEEP BEING CANCELED. WE’VE GOT A FEW COUNTIES THAT HAVE BEEN REMOVED FROM THIS WATCH. SO IF YOU LIVE IN LAMAR, FAYETTE, WINSTON, MARION OR WALKER COUNTY, THE THREAT OF A TORNADO IN YOUR COMMUNITY HAS ENDED FOR THE EVENING. SO IF YOU’VE BEEN WAITING FOR THAT ALL CLEAR TO GO TO BED, YOU ARE DONE WITH THE SEVERE THREAT THROUGH THE REST OF THE EVENING. HOWEVER, WE DO STILL HAVE COLEMAN. BLOUNT, ETOWAH, CHEROKEE, CALHOUN, CLEBURNE, CLAY, TALLADEGA, SAINT CLAIR, SHELBY, JEFFERSON, BIBB, TUSCALOOSA, PICKENS, GREENE, HALE, SUMTER. COUNTIES INCLUDED IN A TORNADO WATCH THAT LASTS THROUGH 1 A.M. I DON’T BELIEVE THAT THAT’S GOING TO STILL RUN ALL THE WAY THROUGH 1 A.M., BUT UNTIL WE CAN GIVE YOU AN ALL CLEAR FROM THAT WATCH, YOU NEED TO MAKE SURE THAT YOU HAVE RELIABLE WAYS TO GET WARNINGS AS WE MONITOR FOR ANY ADDITIONAL THUNDERSTORMS. SO HERE IS A LOOK FROM OUR FIRST WARNING LIVE RADAR. AT THIS POINT, LOUD THUNDERSTORMS ONGOING FROM SOUTHERN BLOUNT INTO JEFFERSON SAINT CLAIR, CALHOUN, ETOWAH, CHEROKEE. NO SEVERE WARNINGS ACROSS MUCH OF OUR AREA. THERE IS STILL A SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WARNING THAT INCLUDES A SMALL PART OF CHEROKEE COUNTY, BUT THAT THREAT OF A TORNADO HAS ENDED. AND LOOKING HERE ONCE AGAIN AT THE WATCH, WANTED TO JUST SHOW YOU THAT WE DO STILL HAVE THAT THROUGH 1 A.M. WE TALKED ABOUT WHAT COUNTIES HAVE BEEN REMOVED FROM THAT, AND I WANTED TO WALK YOU THROUGH OUR FIRST WARNING FUTURE TRACK. SO DOING A GOOD JOB INITIALIZING ON WHAT’S HAPPENING RIGHT NOW. BUT I DO WANT TO POINT OUT IT IS INITIALIZING WITH A LITTLE BIT MORE ACTIVITY THAN WHAT WE HAVE RIGHT NOW. SO LET’S MOVE IT FORWARD. I’M GOING TO TELL YOU WHAT THAT MEANS. AT THIS POINT. WE DO STILL EXPECT A LINE OF STORMS. I THINK THIS MODEL STILL OVERDOING IT A LITTLE BIT. I DON’T THINK WE SEE THIS MUCH THUNDERSTORM ACTIVITY GOING THROUGH THE EVENING. HOWEVER, WHERE THESE STORMS FORM, THEY COULD BE STRONG. SO WE WILL KEEP A CLOSE EYE ON THAT. AND I WANTED TO GIVE YOU A QUICK LOOK AT THE SEVEN DAY. AND THEN I’M GOING TO TOSS IT BACK TO YOU, JASON. AND YOU CAN KIND OF WRAP US UP AND GIVE US ONE MORE LOOK AT THINGS. BUT A QUICK LOOK AT OUR SEVEN DAY FORECAST ONCE IT LOADS. THERE IT IS, IS THAT THEY’RE GOING TO BE A FEW MORE DAYS IN THE NEXT COUPLE OF DAYS WHERE WE CAN DRY OUT FOR A MINUTE AND JUST KIND OF TAKE A BREATH. WE’VE GOT SOME COOLER, DRIER AIR COMING IN AND THAT IS GOING TO DROP OUR HUMIDITY VALUES. IT’S GOING TO ALLOW OUR LOWS ON FRIDAY MORNING TO DIP INTO THE 50S. THAT’S GOING TO FEEL REALLY PLEASANT WITH HIGHS IN THE 70S. BEFORE WE DO ENTER BACK INTO A PATTERN WHERE WE COULD SEE SOME SHOWERS AND STORMS, LET ME MOVE THIS CART OVER FOR YOU SO YOU CAN SEE THE TEMPERATURES HERE THAT WE ARE GOING TO BRING BACK THE CHANCE FOR SOME SHOWERS AND STORMS SATURDAY, SUNDAY, MONDAY AND TUESDAY. NOT A WASHOUT, BUT THERE WILL BE RAIN AND THUNDER AROUND AT TIMES. JASON. ALL RIGHT. THANKS, TAYLOR. HERE IS FIRST WARNING LIVE RADAR AND AT THE MOMENT, THE ONLY THING WE HAVE IN PROGRESS IS A TORNADO WATCH THAT IS IN EFFECT OFFICIALLY UNTIL 1:00 IN THE MORNING. WE DO NOTE THAT WALKER COUNTY AND FAYETTE COUNTY HAVE NOW BEEN REMOVED FROM THAT. SO IF YOU’RE IF YOU’RE ONE OF THOSE THAT SITS UP UNTIL THE WATCH IS OVER, JASPER FAYETTE ALBERTVILLE CORDOVA YOU’RE GOOD. NO MORE SEVERE WEATHER THREAT IN THOSE COMMUNITIES. I THINK CULLMAN COUNTY, MARSHALL COUNTY, DEKALB AND JACKSON WILL PROBABLY BE DROPPED FAIRLY SOON. BLOUNT MAY BE AMONG THE NEXT TO GET DROPPED FROM THIS. AND THEN WE’RE WATCHING WHAT’S HAPPENING IN TUSCALOOSA AND PICKENS COUNTIES. BUT THE PRIMARY ISSUE IS JUST THIS HEAVY ACTION OVER NORTHEAST ALABAMA. NONE OF THIS LOOKS SEVERE AT THE MOMENT. THE ONLY TORNADO WARNING IS THIS ONE THAT’S INCLUDING THE CITY OF ROME, GEORGIA, TROUP COUNTY THAT’S MOVING AWAY FROM ALABAMA. SO WE’LL CONTINUE TO WATCH THIS FOR YOU. OF COURSE, TAYLOR AND I ARE GOING TO BE HERE FOR A WHILE MONITORING EVERYTHING THAT’S GOING ON AND KEEPING YOU UP TO DATE HERE. AGAIN, THE BIG VIEW OF THE RADAR, RIGHT BEFORE WE GO TO JIMMY FALLON. WE’VE GOT THE HEAVY STORMS OVER NORTHEAST JEFFERSON AND BLOUNT. WE’VE GOT SHOWERS DEVELOPING TO THE WEST. NO SEVERE WEATHER OCCURRING RIGHT NOW IN CENTRAL ALABAMA, BUT WE’LL BE
