STRONG STORMS TO START 2021: A dynamic storm system will bring active weather in the form of rain and strong storms to Alabama tonight and into Friday morning. It is a fairly common system for this time of the year featuring strong wind fields, lots of shear, and weak instability. Our forecast today will feature increasing clouds, very mild temperatures, in the 70s, and scattered showers at times.
PLACEMENT: For now, SPC has a “slight risk” (level 2/5) of severe storm defined in the broad zone from Tuscaloosa to Autaugaville to Greenville to Andalusia, and a “marginal risk” (level 1/5) as far east as Alex City, Tuskegee, and Ozark. SPC has and “enhanced risk” (level 3/5) across portions of Louisiana and Mississippi for today. This is where the best combination of shear and instability will be found, but keep in mind the risk areas could be expanded in future outlooks.
