Alabama Easter Weekend: Brace for Storms, Rain

0:00Folks in Alabama, brace for scattered showers and thunderstorms rolling through your Easter weekend. We've got first warning impact days, flag for both Saturday and Sunday, meaning weather could mess with your plans. Tim stay in the mid 80s tomorrow, but that cold front's pushing in rain and a marginal level one severe risks stay wide. Right now, it's warm and humid with 80s across central spots like Birmingham at 83, Jasper at 84. Radar is mostly quiet, just some blips from Georgia brushing our borders. That front's crossing Oklahoma, speeding up to hit us faster, sparking lift where warm and cool air clash. This setup means scattered storms, Saturday afternoon and evening, not enough to cancel everything, but a nuisance for sure. Expect possible gusts up to 60 miles per hour and pee to quarter size hail in a storm or two. Easter egg hunts, soggy grounds and wet mornings, Sunday till about 11 a.m., soaking your commute. Rain kicks off around 4 p.m., Saturday in western Alabama, 7 p.m. near Birmingham, then shifts to showers east of the I-20-I-59.

1:08Quarter by 10 p.m., fading to just rain overnight. Most areas see half an inch to one inch total, up to two in spots, heavy enough for flooding watch, but nothing extreme. Behind the front, Monday chills out with wind chills in the upper 30s to 40s, then dry and pleasant through Friday. Keep eyes on the sky this weekend. Stay safe out there.
