The Storm Alert Center provides severe weather coverage for Russell and surrounding counties.
The Storm Alert Center has the most up to date weather technology in the region. We have access to a team of meteorologists and educated researchers should we need assistance. Aside from big time TV and radio stations, no one has that kind of accessibility around here. For monitoring severe weather, we monitor the Tornado Alert device that is 95% accurate and proven vital in detecting severe storm
s and tornadoes approaching, as well as other state of the art technology to keep you weather aware. All photos or videos posted on our page are copyrighted and are not to be used in any way other than sharing our link.

The Storm Alert Center’s Purpose
The Storm Alert Center focuses only on severe weather events such as severe thunderstorms and tornadoes. I believe we need comprehensive severe weather coverage in this area because it is vital to every community and we don’t have a solid source of severe weather coverage in this area.
We serve generally Russell and surrounding counties but, when there are multiple counties around us being impacted with severe storms or tornado events, we mention those places to prepare the Lake Cumberland area for approaching storms. All of this is tracked on the most advanced weather studio in this part of of the country using the latest radar information, long term models to forecast storm events even several days in advance.
When there is a threat of severe weather, we are asked many questions, and here is an example of some that you SHOULD NOT ask: 1. “How bad is it going to get?” I basically refuse to answer this because #1, no one knows this for sure. 2. “Do you think there will be a tornado?” Same rule, no one knows.
If there is a significant risk of severe weather, you should be alert to changing conditions and monitor NOAA Weather Radio and keep up with the Storm Alert Center.
3. “I have to go somewhere tonight and I’m scared to drive in the rain and storms, what do you think I should do?” If there is a threat of severe weather, if watches are in effect or likely, this should be your sign STAY AT HOME!
4. What about Sano (or any little neighborhood)? This question I don’t answer. If storm threats are for your community, stay alert, you might see a severe storm. Typically, if you follow our coverage, if the southern part of Russell County isn’t in a threat area we don’t talk about it...we mention only the areas affected by severe weather.
And finally number 5. I’ve been watching XYZ Weatherman and he says the storms will bypass our area, do you agree with him? Each weather forecaster has their own interpretations of what to expect. Usually they won’t vary that much. I’m not in the business to agree or disagree with another meteorologist, I’m here to bring you my feelings, my thoughts on what to expect.
Thanks for stopping by and please share our page so others may follow.
