Good Morning! We have an active weather day/night ahead as a significant storm system approaches. Winds ahead of the storm will be strong today & tonight, gusting to 35 mph. A wind advisory is in effect. Temperatures will soar well into the 70’s. Scattered thunderstorms are possible as early as this afternoon. But, the main event will be a line strong/severe storms that will sweep across the state this evening and tonight. All if the state is in a severe weather risk. But, the greatest threat of severe storms and tornadoes will be across west and northwest Alabama. On this video, I have the updated Severe Risk from SPC, and an update on the timeline, as the Cold Front cuts across the state. It’ll be windy & colder behind the front Friday. I have an update on the weekend. Plus, I’ll show you a very active weather pattern next week.
A major storm system is approaching. Much of today will be dry. Showers and storms are possible by this afternoon. It’ll be windy & warm for February. Winds could gust to 35 mph. A line of strong to severe storms will cross the state tonight. Some of the storms could produce damaging wind gusts. Colder late tonight behind the Cold Front.
