Weekend Weather Watch: Alabama Braces for Storms

Alabama is keeping an eye on the skies this weekend, as weather experts predict a slight chance of severe storms. The northwest part of the state is under a Level 1 risk, which is the lowest level on the scale. This means that while storms are possible, they are not highly likely. The main concern is strong winds, but tornadoes are not expected. The storms are likely to hit northwest Alabama on Saturday night and early Sunday morning. The rest of the state can expect rain and storms, but they probably won't be severe. These storms are coming in with a cold front, which is a boundary between warm and cold air masses. The weather service says that not all conditions for severe storms are present, which is why the risk is low. By Sunday, the rain and storms should move out, leaving cooler and drier air behind. Temperatures could drop into the 40s in some areas overnight. After this weekend, Alabama is expected to have a week of calm weather. It's always a good idea to stay informed and prepared, even when the risk is low. Weather can be unpredictable, so it's better to be safe than sorry.
