The National Weather Service has issued a severe thunderstorm watch for all of West Alabama, including Tuscaloosa and the University of Alabama until 5 PM. Remember, a severe thunderstorm watch means conditions are favorable for the development of severe weather, including large hail and damaging winds in and close to the watch area. While severe weather may not be immediately imminent, persons should remain alert for rapidly changing weather conditions and listen for later statements and possible warnings. If a severe thunderstorm warning is issued, persons should remain indoors and away from windows until the warning is over. Remember, classes will only be suspended for a tornado warning, NOT a severe thunderstorm warning. If by any chance a tornado warning is issued, immediately move to the lowest level of the nearest building and stay away from windows until you are notified that the warning is over.
