That curious low that’s been hanging around the northern Gulf of Mexico the past couple of days is finally on the move, bringing with it more showers and storms that will remind people of a weak tropical depression.

A Level 1 risk has been added for today all the way from the coastal region to the I-22, I-20/59, and I-65 corridors in north central Alabama. This risk area includes the potential for damaging winds up to 60 miles per hour, a tornado or two, and torrential rainfall.

A widespread severe weather event is not expected today, but any point in the risk area could experience an isolated to scattered severe weather event.

Most places could have wind gusts up to 25 or 30 miles per hour, even away from storms.
