All of Central Alabama

When:

Wednesday afternoon through Wednesday night

Threats:

Tornadoes

Damaging winds up to 60 mph

Quarter-sized hail

James Spann, ABC 33/40, and Townsquare Media Tuscaloosa Chief Meteorologist said that “a more organized band of rain and storms will push into the state late Wednesday and Wednesday night ahead of a cold front. SPC has much of the state in a severe weather risk in their "Day 4" outlook... for now, the main threat most likely will come from strong winds, with an outside risk of a tornado. The higher severe weather probabilities this week will be west of Alabama, where dynamic forcing and instability values will be considerably higher.”

There is a concern for some flash flooding across the area. The Weather Channel noted that “given the recent rounds of severe weather across the South, there is at least some threat of flash flooding where heavy rain occurs. Some spots may pick up 2-4" of rain in the upcoming work week.”
