The National Weather Service in Huntsville continued conducting storm surveys on Thursday and have added two tornadoes to the ongoing count, which stands at eight.
That number will likely climb, with additional storm surveys ongoing, forecasters said.
One of the newly confirmed tornadoes was an EF-1 with top winds estimated at 110 mph in Jackson County.
The other new addition to the list was another EF-1 with 100 mph winds in Marshall County near Allens Crossroads:

The weather service in Birmingham also confirmed three EF-1 tornadoes in central Alabama from storms Tuesday and early Wednesday.
