Thunderstorm Wind in Elmore County, Alabama

Multiple trees were downed on Mimosa Rd, Hickory Rd, Hogan Rd, and Cold Springs Rd in the Holtville area.

Severe weather was anticipated across southern parts of Central Alabama during the late evening of February 12 and into early February 13. As much of Central Alabama remained cool with cloud cover and light rainfall much of the day on February 12, a warm front became stalled over south-central Alabama and struggled to lift northward. Rainfall intensified over the Birmingham and Montgomery areas by the late evening, with 3-4 inches of rainfall causing minor flooding issues into the overnight hours. Further south, as a cold front approached from the west, a warm sector was eventually able to develop generally along and south of the Interstate 85 corridor. A few storms were able to develop and produce scattered wind damage across Elmore, Montgomery, Lee, and Russell counties, much of which occurred after midnight on February 13.
