Alabama Skies: A few severe storms possible Sunday
Published 9:13 pm Saturday, June 24, 2023
We’ll have another unique situation Sunday across most of the state. In contrast to last weekend, we’re not expecting widespread severe weather. What is possible is that just about any isolated storm that develops from Sunday morning until Sunday night could become severe quickly with strong winds, hail, and torrential rainfall. The tornado threat is low, but not zero.
The Level 2 includes northern and central Alabama and much of the southwestern corner. In this risk zone, severe storms are possible, along with hail, damaging winds, and torrential rainfall. The tornado risk is low, but not zero. A Level 1 includes Bay Minette, Andalusia, Montgomery, and Troy. The risks in this area are the same as Level 2, but not as widespread or likely.
As expected, Tropical Storm Bret is now known as “Remnants of Bret.” Cindy has started the hard turn north, heading towards Bermuda, and is not a threat to the Gulf Coast.
