A deadly storm system battering the Southeast could spawn a tornado in Atlanta today
NWS SPC
On Tuesday in Alabama, three people were killed and four injured in a likely tornado.
The National Weather Service (NWS) has issued a Tornado Watch that will remain in effect until 6 p.m on Wednesday for an area including western Georgia, southeastern Alabama, and part of the Florida panhandle.
An earlier Tornado Warning issued by the NWS ended at 2:15 p.m, and so far there have been no officially confirmed reports of a tornado in the city or any major damage.
Early, unconfirmed images released on Twitter do suggest that a funnel moved across the city, however.
