Severe Weather Watch Likely for Northern and Central Alabama – Issuance Expected Soon

| May 20, 2025 @ 5:12 pm

A severe weather watch is likely to be issued within the next hour or two for portions of northern and central Alabama as the risk for severe thunderstorms continues to increase.

Scattered strong to severe storms, including discrete supercells and organized clusters, are expected to move into Alabama from Mississippi ahead of a cold front. As these storms enter Alabama, they will encounter a highly supportive environment for severe weather, with strong instability and favorable wind shear in place.

This setup may support:

A few tornadoes

Damaging wind gusts

Large hail

Storms may eventually form into a broken line with embedded supercells as they spread eastward. Residents in the affected areas should closely monitor the weather and be ready to take action quickly if warnings are issued.
