A lot of hyperbole has developed about Monday’s severe weather situation for Alabama. There is a significant threat of severe weather Monday, but there is lots of uncertainty concerning the modes of severe weather (very large hail, damaging winds and tornadoes). We will try to sort out the details and show our work right here. Welcome to the weather no-hype zone.

POOR WORD CHOICE: Spin zone may be the wrong way to describe a discussion about potential tornadoes. Hopefully, we will have a lack of spin in the atmosphere Monday. But in any case, large hail is looking like a big threat Monday afternoon and evening.FOR YOUR SATURDAY: An upper-level impulse is moving across the area this morning, powering an area of rain and a little thunder. Behind this impulse, expect some sunshine through late morning and into the afternoon, pushing temperatures well into the 70s and allowing instability values to rise. But it will be hard to generate much in the way of showers and storms through the afternoon. Any that do manage to form could be strong, but we don’t expect significant severe weather. Finally, a weak cold front will push into the area this evening, triggering a few showers and maybe a little thunder, but severe weather shouldn’t be a threat.
