The Storm Prediction Center has issued a Severe Thunderstorm Watch effective immediately for the southern portions of Central Alabama and all of South Alabama.

We have the potential for severe storms across much of the area today, before we get into a stretch of warm and dry weather from Sunday through midweek. Clouds and rain return to end off the work week ahead.
We continue to monitor storms over southeastern Louisiana, southern Mississippi, and Southwest Alabama for the potential for straightening tonight. There is still a threat of damaging winds and a few tornadoes overnight for areas mainly south of US-82, with the best threat south of US-80 from Demopolis to Montgomery to Eufaula. More storms are expected Saturday afternoon. Those could be strong to severe as well.
