Getting a little concerned about the surge in surface dewpoints in recent hours into North-Central Alabama. We have indicated that the severe weather threat will be near the Gulf Coast, but based on current developments looks like we need to mention some risk of severe storms into the central part of Alabama overnight.

The line of storms in Mississippi will enter West Alabama around 2:00 a.m… and will move into the eastern side of the state by mid-morning. Strong winds will be possible, and an isolated tornado is not out of the question, mainly south of I-20.

As the old saying goes, when it comes to thunderstorms, expect the unexpected. We will monitor through the night… stay tuned for updates.
