Severe Weather Possible?

SEVERE WEATHER POSSIBLE?
The Storm Prediction Center does have the northwestern quarter of Alabama included in their Day One Outlook (today) for a slight risk of severe weather. The outlook is generally along and west of I-59. Thinderstorms are expected to intensify later today well to the west of Alabama in an unstable airmass. This activity is expected to become severe this evening over parts of extreme eastern Louisiana/Arkansas and move into Mississippi and western Tennessee, and eventually into Alabama. The SPC feels that severe storms are possible this evening into Northwest Alabama. There seems to be an enhaced area for possible severe weather centered right on the Alabama/Mississppi border in Northwest Alabama and Northeast Mississippi this evening.

The main threat should be from damaging winds, although large hail is possible and the idea of a tornado cannot be ruled out.

That means everyone should pay close attention to later forecasts and be on the alert for severe weather this evening and overnight.

The activity should weaken late tonight as it move into Georgia.

The chance for severe weather looks like it will be pushed further southward on Sunday as the cold front we are talking about may be a little further south than earlier expected. So for tomorrow, Central and South Central Alabama will have the chance for severe weather.
