Alabama Braces for Two Rounds of Storms

0:00Alabama's weather is gearing up for some action in the first half of the week, with two separate rounds of showers and storms hitting the state. The Storm Prediction Center has flagged a marginal risk that's level 1 out of 5 for areas north of a line from Tuscaloosa to Gadsden and over to Fort Payne. That first wave rolls in after midnight tonight, with a line of storms pushing into north Alabama around 2-3 AM. They'll be fading some, but could still pack strong winds right through daybreak, though the tornado odds stay super low. By 6 AM tomorrow, it shifts to mostly rain that clears out by mid-morning. Lingering showers in South Alabama wrap up Wednesday morning, while folks of north brace for round 2 tomorrow night. There it's a slight risk, level 2 out of 5, north of Linden, Calera, and Sandrock, expect more showers and possible gusts. On the brighter side, this means 2-3 inches of rain for north Alabama and 1-2 inches down south through Saturday, which is a solid, boost without major headaches.

1:02Thursday and Friday look mostly dry stay wide, with just spotty showers far south on Thursday and cooler highs dipping to the 60s in the north by, Friday afternoon. Come the weekend, rain targets the southern half on Saturday from a coastal setup, but nothing severe since the air stays stable. Sunday dries out with temps climbing back to the 70s, keep an eye on updates and stay safe out there. That's the story for today, Birmingham News Today, driven by AI.
