Getting many questions this afternoon about Alabama’s weather for the next 36 hours. Here are the key points…
*The most significant severe weather and flooding threat will remain west and north of Alabama this afternoon and tonight. A few severe storms are possible across Northwest Alabama, where a tornado watch is in effect, but the weather should be generally quiet for Birmingham, Tuscaloosa, Anniston, and Gadsden. All of the serious weather for now is over Mississippi, East Arkansas, Northeast Louisiana, and West Tennessee. Scroll down for Bill’s notes on that weather.
*Tomorrow won’t be a total wash-out, but it looks more and more like we will have a significant chance of severe storms. SPC has a standard “slight” risk out of much of Alabama tomorrow, with an enhanced 30 percent probability over the northern and western counties:
So, if you have something planned outdoors this afternoon or early tonight you should be fine… but just keep an eye on the blog for possible changes. Most of our weather issues will come tomorrow.
