“Scattered activity will be possible in the morning ahead of the strongest, severe threat Sunday afternoon through early evening,” said the National Weather Service in Birmingham.

James Spann, ABC 33/40, and Townsquare Media Tuscaloosa Chief Meteorologist said that “a fast-moving system will bring rain and storms back into the state Sunday. SPC has introduced a "slight risk" (level 2/5) of severe thunderstorms for areas along and south of I-20, and a "marginal risk" (level 1/5) for North Alabama.”

Current Thoughts on Timing

“The main window for strong to severe thunderstorms will come from roughly 2:00 until 9:00 p.m. and the main threats will involve hail and strong straight-line winds. But, an isolated tornado can't be totally ruled out. Temperatures will rise into the 65-75 degree range Sunday afternoon,” said Spann.
