The National Weather Service in Birmingham has issued a Hazardous Weather Outlook for our coverage areas. This means that “strong to severe thunderstorms may develop during the afternoon hours from around 1 PM to 9 PM across Central Alabama. The main threat will be damaging winds up to 60 MPH. A few storms may also have large hail.”
This also brings a concern for flooding; the National Weather Service in Birmingham notes that “heavy rainfall will occur at times which may cause localized flooding across portions of Central Alabama. Minor flooding is occurring along portions of the Tombigbee River basin today."
James Spann, ABC 33/40, and Townsquare Media Tuscaloosa Chief Meteorologist lets us know that “Random, scattered thunderstorms will develop across Alabama this afternoon. It won’t rain everywhere, but where they do form, they could be strong with some small hail and strong gusty winds.”
