A strong storm system developed over the southern Plains on Friday. A surface low deepened as it moved northeastward across the lower Mississippi Valley early Saturday. Increasing southerly surface winds ahead of the surface low ushered in lower 60s surface dew points into south-central Alabama. The storm system was accompanied by high shear values and strong forcing aloft. The combination of a high-shear and|low level instability was conducive for severe thunderstorm development.||Several rotating thunderstorms were present within a broken line of storms that moved through Central Alabama Saturday afternoon.
