Bands of tropical downpours and thunderstorms moved northward across Central Alabama on the east of Ida`s circulation. It was in this general area where instability and low-level wind shear values were sufficient for a few rotating thunderstorms. Two EF0 tornadoes were confirmed across the southeast portions of Central Alabama on August 30th.
