Although the Cullman County area escaped early Saturday morning storms relatively unscathed, officials are encouraging residents to be aware of more severe weather.
The National Weather Service has placed Cullman under a PDS tornado watch until 8 p.m. Saturday night.
A PDS Tornado Watch (Particularly Dangerous Situation Tornado Watch) is a specific type of tornado watch issued when conditions are not only favorable for tornado development, but are expected to be especially dangerous, with a higher potential for violent tornadoes.
Cullman County remains under a flood watch and wind advisory until 1 a.m. Sunday morning. Sunday after could see a few showers with the rest of the week sunny and clear.
