Risk Areas

The Storm Prediction Center (SPC) has portions of the Townsquare Media Coverage area under a “marginal risk” for thunderstorms which is a level 1 out of 5. This includes portions of Sumter, Greene, Hale, and Perry counties.

Timing

According to the National Weather Service in Birmingham, the window of possible severe weather is from “1 p.m. until 9 p.m.” The timing could change due to incoming weather conditions. We will continue to monitor.

Possible Threats

The potential threats are damaging winds up to 60 mph and quarter-size hail. Also, “storms may move over the same areas, and with high rainfall rates expected, localized flooding may be a concern,” said the National Weather Service in Birmingham.

Sunday Outlook

James Spann, ABC 33/40, and Townsquare Media Tuscaloosa Chief Meteorologist said that “most of the state will be dry tomorrow with a mostly sunny sky; scattered storms will be confined to the far southern counties. The high tomorrow afternoon will be in the 88–92-degree range.”
