(WTVM) -
There was a technical error with the National Weather Service's software; a tornado warning for Muscogee and Chattahoochee counties was never in effect, but a tornado warning for Marion, Talbot and Taylor counties was issued earlier this afternoon when a strong system of rotation was spotted in those areas.
When a tornado warning is issued that means a strong rotation has been detected in the storm. A tornado may already be on the ground or is expected to develop shortly.
If you are in the path of a dangerous storm, move indoors and to a basement or interior room on the ground floor. Stay ways from windows. If driving do not seek shelter under a highway overpass.
Meanwhile, a tornado watch and thunderstorm warning remains in effect for parts of west central Georgia and east Alabama until 8:00 p.m. EST tonight.
Stay with storm team 9 for the latest severe weather updates. Text SEVEREWX to 40909 to receive severe weather updates for your county. For breaking news text NEWS to 40909. Message and data rates may apply. Check out www.wtvm.com/alerts for additional details on the alerts that we offer.
