    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.=20

    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.
