Storms Threaten Tonight: Severe Weather Risk Grows
6 May
Summary
- Strong to severe storms expected Wednesday evening through Thursday morning.
- The main storm risk area is north and northwest of Montgomery.
- Conditions will improve Friday, with sunny skies expected Saturday.
A significant storm threat is forecast to impact Alabama from Wednesday evening through Thursday morning. Warm, muggy conditions combined with atmospheric shear create favorable conditions for strong to severe thunderstorms. The greatest risk is projected for areas north and northwest of Montgomery, though storms could affect a broader region.
Following the overnight storms, a cold front will move through, bringing a potentially stormy start to Thursday. Some strong storms may linger into the early morning. Conditions are expected to improve throughout Thursday as the front progresses southward, with skies clearing and temperatures rising into the mid-70s to low 80s.
Lingering showers are possible Thursday night, with cooler temperatures. Friday may still see a chance of showers or storms, but generally improving conditions are expected. The weekend looks much better, with partly to mostly sunny skies anticipated for Saturday. However, Mother's Day may bring a return of showers and storms.
