The latest update from the Storm Prediction Center keeps much of the state in the “enhanced” risk. Areas in the northeast parts of the state remain in the “slight” risk.
Here are the newest SPC graphics:
The largest threat for Alabama is damaging wind gusts. The southwestern portion of the state has a 45% chance of severe winds.
The tornado threat for the state will decrease as the night progresses. This means that the slower the main line of storms moves, the lesser the potential for severe weather. Of course, however, we must remain vigilant throughout the night until the main line completely leaves our area.
Stay tuned throughout the next several hours as we continue to pay close attention to this event.
