First Alert Weather: Noon update 5-4-21

BIRMINGHAM, Ala. (WBRC) - We continue to monitor for a risk of isolated tornadoes this afternoon; however, the greater risk is for damaging straight-line winds, flash flooding, and intense cloud to ground lightning.
A Tornado Watch has been issued for Bibb, Chilton, Coosa, Greene, Hale, Pickens, and Tuscaloosa counties until 10 p.m.
Some of the most humid air since last summer has built into the region and this is fueling very heavy downpours. I can’t rule out random power outages, so make sure your mobile device is charged. If a tornado warning is issued, we will be streaming LIVE on the WBRC First Alert Weather app.
