More of us have the possibility of some rain and storms Friday, but there’s also a larger area with a chance of a severe storm or two in the afternoon.

It’s still going to be hot with the only relief being a shower or storm. Most of the state has a good chance for some rain Friday with northern Alabama in the morning and the rest of the state later in the day. As far as severe weather goes, a Level 1 stretches in a diagonal line from Hamilton to Auburn and going south towards the coast. The main risk is damaging winds.

As far as the tropics go, all the systems we were watching have dissipated to the point of no development is expected within the next couple days; however, some forecasters are cautioning a system could approach the Gulf of Mexico in about a week or so. We’ll keep watching models to see what happens.
