Fog and low clouds still have the northern half of the state fairly well socked in this afternoon.
A few showers are across the diagonal middle of the state
A decent shower was over St. Clair County from south of Ashville to near Pell City. Some brief heavy rain was located near the core of that cell.
Looking to the west, we see showers developing over Central Mississippi. Storms were developing over southwestern Mississippi into Louisiana, where the air was more unstable. They are forming ahead of a cold front that will move into Alabama tonight.
Those current showers will continue through the afternoon with the pre-frontal showers moving into the state overnight.
The front will stall over Central Alabama and come back north late Monday night or Tuesday morning as a warm front, setting the stage for a potential severe weather event Tuesday afternoon and evening across the state. We will be monitoring this situation carefully as it appears that the dynamics will be a big problem, creating the possibility of storms with damaging winds and even tornadoes.
Behind the front, there is also a chance that we could see a changeover to snow over parts of North and North Central Alabama late Tuesday night. We don’t anticipate any problems, but this type of system can potentially lay down an inch of snow. Stay tuned.
