Strong Storms Remain Possible Across Portions of Alabama Tonight

As strong-to-severe storms target the southern United States, Alabama remains at risk of ongoing showers and storms that could become severe through mid-morning today.

Also, “Thunderstorms are expected in the afternoon to evening, with a chance for storms to become strong to severe,” said the National Weather Service in Birmingham.
