Overnight severe weather risk upgraded
DOTHAN, Ala. (WTVY) – Southeast Alabama and parts of southwest Georgia and the Florida Panhandle have been upgraded to an enhanced risk (level 3 out of 5) for severe storms overnight.
According to Coffee County EMA, the main change is an increased risk of tornadoes, along with large hail, but the timing has generally remained the same: earliest arrival at 3 a.m. CT, with most likely arrival from 4-7 a.m. CT.
“A squall line will race through our region overnight tonight. The squall line itself will have the potential to bring damaging wind gusts and a few isolated, brief embedded tornadoes. If any supercells develop in advance of the squall line, then stronger tornadoes and medium-large hail could be expected,” Coffee County Emergency Management Agency director Grant Lyons said.
