A storm system that we are carefully monitoring has the potential to bring strong to severe weather to the Deep South region including our area. There is increasing confidence that these storms will enter West and Central Alabama from Central and Southern Mississippi.

The main concern of this system is very similar to the hazards of our last storm system. It is forecasted that there could be wind gusts ahead of the storm system up to 45 miles per hour. In addition, the main threats are damaging winds, tornadoes, and locally heavy rainfall that could lead to flash flooding.

James Spann, ABC 33/40, and Townsquare Media Tuscaloosa Chief Meteorologist have provided his current thoughts about the incoming system. He noted that the “wind fields will be very strong, but the thermodynamics are not as impressive. Still, the system will likely bring some very active weather to the state.

The Storm Prediction Center (SPC) noted “in their "Day 4" outlook, SPC shows the western half of Alabama with the higher severe weather probabilities (where instability values will be higher),” said Spann

The current time frame thoughts from Spann are from “about 3:00 p.m. Wednesday through 3:00 a.m. Thursday.”

As always this advance of any weather system, information could change. It is best to check back and stay aware as we approach the Wednesday severe weather threat. Be mindful as you make plans for the week, especially Wednesday.
