Most of us will have a decent chance of rain or a thunderstorm Saturday. There is also a chance for some severe weather in northern and central Alabama, especially in western parts of the state.

Saturday’s severe risk is more isolated, but an approaching cold front will bring a much better, much more widespread chance of strong not severe storms Sunday. Still, we aren’t expecting a major weather event for large sections of the state like we had a few weeks ago.

Rain chances Saturday are confident in widespread storms in the afternoon across the state. Any severe risk is mainly for isolated severe storms with strong winds and hail.
