Possible Strong to Severe Storms Expected Wednesday in Central, West Alabama

As you enjoy your sunny weekend, please be mindful that “wind gusts could get up to 35 miles per hour today across portions of Central Alabama.” Also, that River flooding is forecast to continue along portions of the Tombigbee and Black Warrior rivers through at least Tuesday,” said the National Weather Service in Birmingham.

Please keep in mind that our area has the potential for a severe weather threat on Wednesday, March 30, 2022. We are watching this weather system that could impact all of West and Central Alabama. The main concern of this system is windy conditions ahead of the storm, storms could be strong to severe, and potentially bring the threats of damaging wind gusts and tornadoes.

James Spann, ABC 33/40, and Townsquare Media Tuscaloosa Chief Meteorologist has provided us with some insight on the possible timeframe for our active weather to occur. He mentioned that “for now it looks like the main window for heavier thunderstorms will come from about 4:00 p.m. Wednesday through 4:00 a.m. Thursday.”

I always like to stress that this far in advance of a probable severe weather event, that information like threats, areas, and timeframes could change. So it’s always best to check back for updates. Also, we are constantly monitoring weather conditions even on pretty days.

Also, Spann mentioned that the Storm Prediction Center (SPC) “has defined a severe weather risk for the far western part of the state; higher probabilities are to the west over parts of MS/LA/AR. Dynamics will be favorable for severe storms here, but the thermodynamics are “iffy”.”
