SPC Maintains Level 1 Severe Risk for Alabama Today and Thursday

Two waves could disrupt the evening commute today with a morning round Thursday.

Overview

  • North and much of west Alabama face a marginal risk today, with south and east Alabama under a similar risk on Thursday.
  • The National Weather Service cites damaging wind gusts up to about 60 mph, heavy rain, intense lightning, and small hail as the main hazards.
  • Tornadoes are not expected in this setup according to both SPC outlooks and NWS guidance.
  • A broken line of storms is expected to move in this afternoon and evening, with another round redeveloping early Thursday that may affect morning travel in central and southern areas.
  • Storms should exit Thursday night as a cold front brings a brief cool-down for the weekend before a warming trend returns early next week.
