FIRST ALERT: Stay weather alert for possible damaging winds, flash flooding, and isolated tornadoes
First Alert Weather: Noon update 5-4-21 By Wes Wyatt | May 4, 2021 at 5:10 AM CDT - Updated May 4 at 3:33 PM
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.

After the Reds suspended Thom Brennaman in August for a homophobic slur during a TV game, Hall of Fame shortstop Barry Larking offered his services to Reds COO Phil Castelinni. I told him I d be willing to help, if he needed me to do so, Larkin told reporters during a Reds video conference Tuesday announcing he will join Fox Sports Ohio s Reds TV team this year. Castellini told me, Not now, but maybe. And I didn t know what that meant at the time, but now I know what that means.
Larkin, former Reds team captain, says he will be color analyst for all 81 home games with John Sadak, the new play-by-play TV voice. Sadak was hired Feb. 4 to replace Brennaman, who resigned in September.
