Winds are not very strong across southern Louisiana. Here are 5 a.m. observations…


.

Across Alabama, showers are light, but they will be increasing in coverage and intensity through the day today.

A flash flood watch is in effect for all of Central Alabama.

There could be a few isolated weak tornadoes across southwestern sections today mainly down around Choctaw, Marengo and Dallas Counties in the outer feeder bands. They will spread a little further northward for Monday, with the main threat from Marengo an Perry through Chilton, Talladega and up into Cleburne Counties. Again, we emphasize they will be brief and weak, but could cause damage. Expect some warnings.

There will be a southeasterly breeze today, about 8-16 mph. It will continue tonight and increase on Monday. Winds will average 12-25 mph Monday, which is quite windy, with gusts over 30 mph. That won’t be strong enough to cause much in the way of damage.
