Severe weather is no stranger to North Alabama, especially in the spring. This is why this week has been proclaimed the Alabama Severe Weather Preparedness Week by Gov. Kay Ivey.
The National Weather Service in Tucson reported an anomalous weather pattern that should deliver above-average precipitation to Southern Arizona, with showers and thunderstorms expected to roll into the area Sunday.
A hurricane pounding western Mexico will likely bring a little moisture to the Tucson area this week, but it won t look like much more than a typical monsoon.
Widespread storms are forecasted beginning as early as Friday evening in areas south and east of Tucson, as an easterly wave of moisture pushes more monsoon activity into the region.
