It’s an active weekend across Alabama, and unfortunately, we are going to have an active weather pattern to go along with it.
A busy weekend here in Alabama with lots of events. And the weather is a little on the dicey side, so you will want to monitor the latest forecasts and weather conditions through the weekend.
A weakening band of showers and storms move into western sections of the state this morning. It is dying along a line from Decatur to Aliceville by late morning.
The line was in advance of a weak cold front that was pushing into Northwest Alabama. The front will settle into the extreme northern part of the state, but probably will not make much more progress.
Meanwhile, instabilities will be on the increase through the afternoon as periodic sunshine warms temperatures into the upper 70s along with dewpoints in the low 60s. CAPE values will exceed 1500 j/kg as the airmass becomes unstable this afternoon across Central Alabama.
This means some of the storms could be strong to even severe, although significant severe weather is not anticipated.
The storms should diminish this evening and the front should settle into the Tennessee Valley.
Storms will be likely tomorrow as the airmass becomes more unstable ahead of a stronger cold front. Storms will be fairly numerous and likely severe, especially during the afternoon hours. All organizers and event attendees should check the latest weather information periodically throughout the weekend and have a way of receiving weather warnings if issued.
