   NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
   0448 PM CDT Mon Mar 25 2019

   Areas affected...Central/southern Alabama

   Concerning...Severe Thunderstorm Watch 34...

   Valid 252148Z - 252345Z

   The severe weather threat for Severe Thunderstorm Watch 34
   continues.

   SUMMARY...Strong/severe storms are moving southeast across central
   Alabama with large hail as the primary threat.

   DISCUSSION...Severe storms are developing across portions central
   Alabama and will continue moving southeast over central/southern
   Alabama with large hail as the primary threat given cool mid-level
   temperatures. The storm environment is characterized by MLCAPE of
   250-700 J/kg and 35-45 knots of effective bulk shear and the severe
   threat should continue until around sunset. After sunset, daytime
   heating will wane and storms are likely to weaken and become
   sub-severe. Damaging winds are also possible given the well-mixed
   boundary layer and if the developing supercells can form a
   quasi-linear segment in the next hour or two.
