Storms Possible Into the Early Morning – Monday 12:45 a.m.

We continue to watch storms move south into Alabama on Home Team Interactive Radar. The threat for tornadoes appears to have diminished at this hour, but the threat for isolated damaging winds and severe hail will continue for the next few hours. The primary risk with this system is along the leading edge and southwestern flank where the higher reflectivity is on radar. With the moisture that is currently moving into our area ahead of this system it is likely that we will see rainfall. We could also see more instability develop over Mississippi and western Alabama so we will keep a close eye on this system throughout the night. We will keep you updated should there be any more developments.

Sunday Evening Forecast Discussion – 6:20 p.m.

There is a chance that rain could start developing early Monday morning as it moves southeast across Alabama. There is a chance for showers through the morning and into the afternoon mainly for the northern half of the state. The temperature should still get into the upper 80s, maybe even 90 for some people. Some showers could continue overnight as we see mostly cloudy skies. Temperatures are likely to dip into the low 70s early Tuesday morning.

Tuesday models show a warm front the the northeast becoming a cold front as it begins a push into the Southeast. It should make its way across the area Tuesday afternoon allowing for more showers and thunderstorms to develop. Some of those could become strong to severe as the front moves through. The front could stick around into Wednesday and dip into the southern half of the state by the afternoon. Drier air will follow the front for the northern half and showers and storms could be possible along the front as it moves south.

Temperatures will be downright hot in the lower to mid 90s in areas that don`t observe any of the storms and clouds in the southern part of our area and perhaps only mid 80s for areas north where storms are forecast. Temperatures could cool a bit behind the front late Tuesday for northern portions of the state but remain very warm through the rest of the period.

Severe Thunderstorm Warning for Lamar, Fayette, Marion, Walker County Until 3:30pm Sunday

We’re watching this quick developing mesoscale complex of storms move through northwest Alabama this afternoon. Due to a northwest flow aloft and moisture return, we’ll have to keep an eye on these features through Tuesday night. There is a risk of damaging winds and hail at any time during the day and at night if these small scale systems move into Alabama. This will not be an all day or night type of rain, but several of these small convective systems could move through between now and Tuesday night.

There is a chance this current complex could reach the Tuscaloosa and Birmingham areas sometime around 4:30 to 5:30 this evening. Stay alert. The tornado risk is very low today through Tuesday, but there’s a chance these storms could produce damaging winds if they move through your area. Once the storms move in, they won’t last much longer than an hour. Here’s the latest severe thunderstorm warning statement.
