Alabama tornado count increases from Tuesday storms

The National Weather Service is adding to its number of confirmed tornadoes from Tuesday’s round of severe weather.

The National Weather Service in Huntsville continued conducting storm surveys on Thursday and have added one tornado to the ongoing count, which stands at seven.

That number will likely climb, possibly tonight, with additional storm surveys ongoing, forecasters said.

The newest confirmed tornado was an EF-1 with top winds estimated at 100 mph in Marshall County near Allens Crossroads, according to the weather service.

The weather service in Huntsville also did storm surveys on Wednesday and confirmed three other tornadoes — and two of them were EF-2s.

The weather service in Birmingham also confirmed three EF-1 tornadoes in central Alabama from storms Tuesday and early Wednesday.

In addition, straight-line winds of up to 105 mph were noted in far western Limestone, southeastern Lauderdale, northern Lawrence and northern Colbert counties, according to the weather service in Huntsville.
