Alabama Skies: Which areas will have the severe threat today?
Published 1:30 am Saturday, May 20, 2023
Although we have another day with some rain and storms possible, today is a little different than storms we’ve seen the past several days. In northern and central Alabama, especially north of the I-20/59 corridor, rain and storms will begin earlier in the day and we could have a washout for some of us.
A Level 1 risk for severe weather covers a large portion of the state and includes areas from Hamilton to Gadsden all the way south to Troy and Eufaula. The biggest risks today are hail and damaging winds.
