The NWS has decided to upgrade a large part of NW Alabama to a "moderate" risk for severe weather. This is a step up from the previous classification of "slight". Parts of Tuscaloosa County, the northwestern parts of the county to be specific, are now included in this "moderate" convective outlook. It appears that now tornadoes will be more of a threat than previously forecasted.
CURRENT OBSERVATIONS
MOSTLY CLOUDY, 75*F, 73% HUMIDITY, DEWPOINT 66*, WINDS SW ~7MPH
OUTLOOK FOR THE REST OF THE DAY
HIGH OF 79*F, STRONG STORMS/SOME MAY BE SEVERE, HEAVY RAINFALL AT TIMES, DAMAGING STRAIGHT LINE WINDS, HAIL POSSIBLE, ISOLATED TORNADOES POSSIBLE ALONG THE SQUALL LINE
BOTTOM LINE
THE CAP OVER NORTHWESTERN MISSISSIPPI HAS ERODED LEADING TO STORMS FIRING UP ALONG THE COLD FRONT, A TORNADO WATCH EXISTS TO THE WEST OF US, ONE WILL MOST LIKELY BE ISSUED FOR MUCH OF ALABAMA AS THE DAY PROGRESSES.
***HAVE A SEVERE WEATHER PLAN IN PLACE, STAY CLOSE TO WEATHER INFORMATION THROUGHOUT THE DAY***
