Weather Aware from Friday through Monday for Strong to Severe Storms

Weekend Outlook: A cold front will stall north of Alabama in Tennessee all weekend, creating a northwest flow weather pattern. This will allow a series of upper-level waves to bring a cluster of strong to severe storms (MCS) from the Great Plains States to Alabama on Saturday.

The SPC has placed Central Alabama under a Level 3/5 Enhanced Risk for severe storms that may produce damaging winds. Highs will be in the upper 80s.

Another MCS is likely on Sunday morning, maintaining the same northwest flow weather pattern. SPC has placed Central Alabama in a Level 1/5 Marginal Risk for severe storms featuring gusty winds and highs in the lower 80s.

Additionally, Saharan dust could move into the southeastern U.S. this weekend
