Areas affected...portions of central/southern Alabama



Concerning...Tornado Watch 187...



Valid 062137Z - 062330Z



The severe weather threat for Tornado Watch 187 continues.



SUMMARY...Supercells with risk for all hazards to continue across

Alabama this evening.



DISCUSSION...A supercell continues to mature across south-central

Alabama near Montgomery, AL this afternoon, with signs of

strengthening rotation. Additional development is ongoing across

western Alabama and further north near the cold front in northern

Alabama. 



The environment across Alabama remains favorable for supercells

capable of all hazards, including strong tornadoes. Through the

evening, 700-850 mb flow will increase enlarging low-level

hodographs and promoting favorable conditions for tornadoes

particularly across south-central Alabama. As the front moves south

and storms cluster, tendency to grow upscale will support an

increasing damaging wind threat.
