James Spann, ABC 33/40, and Townsquare Media Tuscaloosa Chief Meteorologist said that “an approaching cold front will bring a band of showers and thunderstorms late Wednesday night into Thursday. A linear storm mode will probably be dominant, so damaging winds should be the main severe threat. Low-level flow is forecast to gradually veer to a more west-southwesterly component through the day, which should limit the tornado threat to occasionally embedded circulations within the line.”
