Saturday Weather Briefing — Strong to Severe Storms Continue Through Morning

*** No video this morning due to ongoing severe weather threat. ***

Tornado Watch in effect until 7 am for Fayette and Walker counties in Central Alabama, and for Cullman, DeKalb, Jackson, and Marshall counties in the Tennessee Valley.

Tornado Watch in effect until 8 am for Autauga, Bibb, Blount, Calhoun, Cherokee, Chilton, Clay, Cleburne, Coosa, Dallas, Elmore, Etowah, Greene, Hale, Jefferson, Marengo, Perry, Pickens, Randolph, Shelby, St. Clair, Sumter, Talladega, Tallapoosa, and Tuscaloosa counties in Central Alabama.

A line of strong to severe storms will continue to push through the area, with the threat of severe weather coming to an end around or just before noon in the southeastern parts of Central Alabama. After the storms end, skies will begin to clear out and highs will make it into the mid 70s to the lower 80s.

Sunday will start off with mainly sunny skies, but clouds will begin to build late in the day and during the evening hours. By late evening and through the overnight hours, there will be a chance of a few showers and thunderstorms. Highs in the lower to mid 70s.

A wet pattern sets up across the area for the work week ahead. A warm front moves through the area on Monday and Tuesday that will keep showers and thunderstorms in our forecast for both days. Monday’s highs in the 70s, and into the 80s on Tuesday.

On Wednesday, a cold front will begin to work through the area, and we may have to watch for the threat of strong to severe storms. The good news is the low associated with the front will be located up around the Great Lakes, so the threat will not be as high as we are seeing this morning. We’ll get a better idea on threats and timing once the higher-resolution models come in. Highs in the 80s.

The front looks to stall out over the central or southern parts of the state, which will keep our weather unsettled to end off the week. Showers and storms will be possible on both days, with highs in the upper 60s to the lower 80s on Thursday, and up into the lower 70s to the mid 80s on Friday.
