The risk for Saturday will be for “areas generally along and north of Interstate 20” and Sunday will be for “all of Central Alabama,” said the National Weather Service in Birmingham.

Weekend Timing

Currently, the thought is for the timing of the possibility of severe weather will take place Saturday from 2 p.m. until 8 p.m. and Sunday in the afternoon into the evening. The timing could change as weather conditions are updated.

Severe Weather Threats

The main concern will be damaging winds up to 60 mph and quarter-size hail.

Also, Spann said that for everyone to “understand the weekend won't be a total wash-out, but occasional showers and storms are likely, and watch radar trends if you have an outdoors event planned.”
