Marginal Risk Expanded Northward a Little

The Storm Prediction Center just released their mid-afternoon update to the Day One Severe Weather Outlook, and the level one Marginal Risk for severe storms has been nudged slightly northward to include a little more of the southern parts of Central Alabama.

Now the Marginal Risk includes locations along and south of a line from Cuba (Sumter Co.) to Deatsville (Elmore Co.) to just north of Auburn (Lee Co.) to just south of Fort Mitchell (Russell Co.).

Isolated damaging wind gusts up to 60 mph and a brief spin-up tornado may be possible this evening through the late-night and into the start of the overnight hours in those Marginal Risk locations. A strong storm or two may be possible north of that zone, but severe weather is not likely. We’ll have to watch conditions through the remainder of the afternoon and into the evening.
