Alabama faces a tornado watch with severe storms threatening damaging winds up to 75 mph and tornadoes. Learn safety tips, affected areas, and real-time updates.

Current Tornado Watch Details
The National Weather Service (NWS) Storm Prediction Center has issued a tornado watch for portions of southern and central Alabama, effective through early Sunday, February 16, 2025. The watch, initially set to expire at 3 a.m. CST, was extended until 6 a.m. for central Alabama due to a fast-moving line of storms capable of producing hurricane-force winds (up to 75 mph), isolated tornadoes, and heavy rainfall 511.

Meteorologists highlight an enhanced risk (3/5) for severe weather, with the greatest threats including damaging straight-line winds and a few intense tornadoes. Affected counties include Butler, Conecuh, Covington, Crenshaw, and Escambia, though the watch area spans 45 miles north and south of a line from Evergreen to Auburn 25.

H3: Timing and Immediate Threats
The storm system, fueled by strong low-level winds, is expected to traverse Alabama overnight into Sunday morning. Southern and central regions face the highest risk, with reports of downed trees and power outages already affecting over 111,000 residents as of 1:55 a.m. Sunday 11.

H3: Historical Context and Alabama’s Tornado Risks
Alabama ranks among the top U.S. states for tornado activity, with late winter and early spring marking peak severe weather seasons. Historical data from the NWS Birmingham office shows the state averages 42 tornadoes annually, many clustered in “Dixie Alley,” a region prone to nocturnal and fast-forming twisters 410.

H3: Understanding Watches vs. Warnings

  • Tornado Watch: Conditions favor tornado formation. Residents should review emergency plans and monitor updates 35.

H3: Protective Measures for Residents

  1. On Campus: The University of Alabama (UA) has opened storm shelters, including the Magnolia Parking Deck, which accommodates pets. Use the UA Safety App to locate the nearest Best Available Refuge Area (BARA) 1.

  2. At Home: Avoid upper floors and windows. Use mattresses or heavy blankets for debris protection 35.

  3. Outdoors/Vehicles: Never shelter in cars or mobile homes. Seek sturdy buildings or low-lying ditches if stranded 15.

UA’s Office of Emergency Management advises: “Have multiple ways to receive alerts, including the UA Safety App and NOAA Weather Radio. Pre-identify shelter locations to save critical time.” 1.
