The National Weather Service has confirmed damage from Wednesday’s storms in at least one Alabama community was caused by a tornado.

An EF-0 struck Monrovia with winds of 80 miles per hour just about 5:14 p.m. The twister stayed on the ground for four minutes and traveled 2.4 miles. No injuries were reported.

There is a chance for more severe weather Thursday and Friday. For Thursday, the northeastern corner of Alabama has the chance for a severe storm or two. On Friday, just about the entire northern region of the state will have the potential for a few strong to severe storms.

Today is going to be our hottest day so far with just about everyone in the upper-90s to near 100 in real temps and heat index values up to 109. We may have a better chance of rain this weekend with cooler temperatures.
