Here is the new Day One convective outlook:
Even with the expanded high risk to the west, there is no change in my thinking from the early morning discussion…
*Most of today will be rain-free statewide (see Tim Coleman’s discussion on the cap in place)… record highs are likely with a mix of sun and clouds. South winds will increase through the afternoon.
*The greatest risk of tornadic thunderstorms will be over the far western side of the state from 6:00 p.m. until 12:00 midnight. Especially along and west of U.S. 43.
*The main squall line will move through Alabama in the 12:00 midnight to 9:00 a.m. time frame tomorrow morning, with potential for damaging winds. An isolated tornado cannot be ruled out, however.
I will have the complete afternoon discussion and Weather Xtreme video by 3:30… J.B. and the gang will have updates throughout the day.
