The National Weather Service is predicting lines of weather to affect Tallapoosa County Thursday.

After Sunday’s storm and many homes in the north side of Alexander City damaged, officials have decided to open portions of Stephens Elementary School as a storm shelter because it is closer to homes that might be compromised from structural damage or nearby trees. The school is located at 851 Laurel St. and those seeking shelter will be screened at the door for temperature and will be supplied with a mask to wear.
