The National Weather Service office in Birmingham sent a storm survey team out on Thursday to look at damage after a wild night of severe weather.

The weather service’s plan was to survey damage in parts of Marion and Fayette counties today. Some of those areas found themselves under a tornado warning on Wednesday night as a complex of severe storms tracked through the state.

The weather service said “extensive” damage has been reported in the Winfield area.

The weather service will look at damage and determine whether it was caused by straight-line winds or a tornado. There were indications of a tornado on radar on Wednesday night, but storms were also packing damaging straight-line winds, especially as they moved into west Alabama.

If the weather service finds evidence of a tornado meteorologists will assign it a preliminary rating on the Enhanced Fujita Scale, which ranges from EF-0 to EF-5.

Severe weather wasn’t explicitly expected on Wednesday, although Alabama summers can often produce random severe storms. But a complex of storms moving into the state from Mississippi really intensified Wednesday evening as they tracked eastward into Alabama, prompting multiple severe thunderstorm warnings.

A storm that moved through Franklin and Colbert counties in north Alabama also led to a tornado warning on Wednesday night, although a tornado has not been confirmed.

No severe weather is in the forecast for Alabama through at least next Wednesday.
