If you’re planning on doing any burning outdoors Tuesday, that probably wouldn’t be a good idea.

An approaching storm system is bringing some very strong winds with some of us having gusts up to 40 miles per hour, nearly tropical storm strength.

We’ve also adjusted Wednesday’s forecast some. Even though we still believe the severe weather is staying well north of our state, we are expecting rain to reach into central and southern Alabama now.
