THERE IS A SLIGHT RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS ALL OF CENTRAL ALABAMA TODAY AND TONIGHT. ALTHOUGH THUNDERSTORMS ARE EXPECTED ACROSS MUCH OF THE AREA THROUGHOUT TODAY AND INTO TONIGHT...THE GREATEST THREAT APPEARS TO BE BETWEEN 1 PM AND 7 PM...AS A CLUSTER OF STORMS MOVES ACROSS THE STATE. THE MAIN THREAT WILL BE DAMAGING WINDS AND HEAVY RAINFALL WHICH COULD LEAD TO LOCALIZED FLASH FLOODING.HOWEVER...THERE IS STILL A SMALL CHANCE THAT AN ISOLATED OR EMBEDDED SUPERCELL COULD DEVELOP...CAPABLE OF PRODUCING LARGE HAIL AND TORNADOES. THE THREAT FOR SEVERE WEATHER IS EXPECTED TO DIMINISH AFTER SUNSET WITH THE LOSS OF DAYTIME HEATING.
LINGERING STRONG THUNDERSTORMS ARE POSSIBLE ALONG AND SOUTH OF INTERSTATE 85...MAINLY DURING THE MORNING HOURS ON FRIDAY.LOCALLY HEAVY RAINFALL IS POSSIBLE AS WAVES OF SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS ALONG A SLOW MOVING COLD FRONT.
