RADAR CHECK: Most of Alabama is rain-free this afternoon; with a partly to mostly sunny sky temperatures are generally in the 70s. But a surface front will bring a band of scattered showers and thunderstorms into the state tonight. SPC maintains a “slight risk” (level 2/5) of severe thunderstorms for roughly the northern half of Alabama.
STORMS LATE TODAY/TONIGHT: While most of the day today will be dry with highs in the 70s, a front will push a broken band of showers and storms into the state late this afternoon and tonight. SPC has defined a “slight risk” (level 2/5) of severe thunderstorms for roughly the northern half of Alabama.
RADAR CHECK: Just before daybreak strong storms are over Northwest Alabama, extending into eastern Mississippi. A flash flood warning has been issued for parts of Colbert, Franklin, and Lawrence counties, where over two inches of rain has fallen early this morning.
MILD, WINDY DAY: The sky is sunny over much of Alabama this afternoon with a gusty south wind, but clouds are increasing over the northwest counties ahead of a cold front.
DANGEROUS SEVERE THUNDERSTORM/TORNADO OUTBREAK AHEAD: A dangerous outbreak of severe thunderstorms and tornadoes is expected across a large area beginning late tonight. A dynamic storm system will bring two rounds of severe thunderstorms.
RADAR CHECK: Rain is widespread over the northern counties of Alabama this afternoon, north of a warm front that is over South Alabama. There is a huge temperature range; many communities across Northeast Alabama are in the 40s thanks to a “cold air damming” pattern
The SPC has increased the risk of severe weather for portions of Alabama to a “slight risk” (level 2/5) of severe thunderstorms this afternoon for Central and South Alabama.
RADAR CHECK: Again this afternoon we have random, scattered showers and thunderstorms across Alabama. Some are producing heavy rain and strong winds along with lots of lightning. They will fade after sunset, and most will be gone by 10:00 p.m. Away from the storms the sky is partly sunny with temperatures mostly in the 90s.
RADAR CHECK: Scattered showers and thunderstorms are over mainly the western half of Alabama this afternoon, and a few have reached severe limits with potential for hail and strong winds.
RADAR CHECK: Strong to severe thunderstorms continue over the eastern half of Alabama early this morning. These storms produced wind damage in a number of counties since midnight; over 80,000 are without power in Alabama shortly after daybreak.
RADAR CHECK: A band of strong thunderstorms is pushing into the northwest corner of Alabama at mid-afternoon; these storms are producing small hail and gusty winds. A severe thunderstorm watch has been issued for the western half of the Tennessee Valley until 8p CT.
RADAR CHECK: We have a few lingering showers over Southeast Alabama at mid-afternoon, otherwise the sky is partly to mostly sunny with temperatures in the 80s. A few spots in West Alabama have reached 90 degrees.
RADAR CHECK: A line of thunderstorms is pushing southward through the Tennessee Valley early this morning. So far most of the storms have remained below severe limits, but we note a tornado watch is in effect until 10am for areas north of a line from Millport to Jasper to Cullman to Fort Payne.
