The Townsquare Media Weather Center is monitoring the potential for severe weather on Friday evening into Saturday as a cold front approaches. Currently, the Storm Prediction Center has issued a severe weather risk for the northwest corner of Alabama, including one county in our coverage area, Lamar.

“At the moment, it looks like the core threat of severe storms will remain west and north of Alabama, but we will watch model trends over the next few days,” James Spann, Alabama Weather Network and Townsquare Media Tuscaloosa Chief Meteorologist.

Cooler air sweeps back into the state as we head into the weekend.
