After Saturday’s storms, Sunday brought Alabama a taste of early spring, with cooler air, morning fog, and a mix of sun and clouds—especially north of the Tennessee River where a few sprinkles are still possible.
Sunday brings Alabama a breath of fresh air—literally and figuratively—with cooler temperatures, sunshine, and low humidity replacing Saturday’s storms in a refreshing pattern shift worthy of a “Cool Change.”
Severe storms have cleared Alabama, but dense fog may pose a travel hazard overnight and into Sunday morning across north Alabama and southern Tennessee.
With no active warnings or advisories, the severe threat is nearly over in Alabama as storms shift east into Georgia.
Though warnings have expired, strong storms remain active in eastern Alabama this evening with gusty winds, small hail, and dangerous lightning.
A new severe thunderstorm warning is in effect for northeastern Lee County, with damaging winds, hail, and heavy rain moving east toward Auburn and Opelika.
Severe storms continue across east Alabama, with warnings active in Chambers County and strong storms impacting several others under Severe Thunderstorm Watch #221 through 10 PM.
Strong to severe storms continue moving through east-central and southeast Alabama this evening with the threat of damaging winds, hail, and frequent lightning continuing through 10 PM.
Severe storms with 60 mph winds and quarter-size hail are moving into Tallapoosa and Chambers counties, with a warning in effect through 7:45 PM.
Severe storms from Tuscumbia to west of Moulton are producing 60 mph winds and quarter-size hail as they move northeast across northwest Alabama through 1:15 PM.
A severe storm near Hackleburg is moving northeast with ping pong ball size hail and 60 mph winds expected to impact Russellville and surrounding areas through 12:15 PM.
A severe storm near Red Bay is moving northeast with the potential for 60 mph winds and quarter-size hail across parts of Franklin and Colbert counties through 12:15 PM. Another storm in eastern Mississippi will move into northwestern Franklin and Colbert. Another is over Marion County.
Alabama will stay warm and mostly dry through Wednesday with only a few isolated showers, but a stronger system will bring increasing chances of rain and thunderstorms by Thursday and Friday.
A warm and mostly dry start to the week will give way to increasing storm chances by Thursday and Friday, followed by a shot of much cooler air just in time for the first weekend of May.
