Alabamians will need to pay very close attention to the weather tonight through tomorrow night as a dynamic storm system will bring violent thunderstorms to the state.
DRIER DAY: Rain has pushed out of Alabama early this morning; we will be dry through early afternoon with a gusty west wind; a wind advisory remains in effect for much of the state. Gradient winds won’t be a strong as yesterday, but gusts to 30 mph are very possible.
WINDY: As advertised, gradient winds have ramped up across Alabama; gusts are in the 30-40 mph range for most communities. Montgomery reports a gust to 44 mph at mid-afternoon. We have a mix of sun and clouds, but a line of showers and storms will move into West Alabama by 5-6 p.m.
WINDY AFTERNOON: Westerly winds are gusting to 30/35 mph across much of North Alabama this afternoon with mostly sunny sky. Temperatures range from the 50s over the northern counties, to the 70s over South Alabama.
