Be alert for strong to severe storms on Tuesday, threats include tornadoes, damaging winds. Check the video forecast for the latest. Threats include tornadoes, damaging winds up to 60 mph and quarter-sized hail. https://www.wvtm13.com/weather/radarSEVERE STORMS TUESDAY The Storm Prediction Center describes a risk of severe weather for most of Alabama on Tuesday. An increased risk of severe storms has been added to areas south of I-20. The ingredients can combine very well to produce a strong tornado (EF-2+) specifically in the area of ​​increased risk. Strong winds are expected apart from thunderstorms this evening through Tuesday morning. A few trees and large branches may snap and fall due to sustained winds of 20-25 mph and wind gusts of 30-40 mph. High level vehicles should exercise caution.

That’s why Tuesday is an ALERT DAY for central Alabama: Forecast models have delayed the onset of potential severe thunderstorms until closer to noon on Tuesday. Currently, our schedule is 12:00 p.m. to 10:00 p.m. for North and Central Alabama. The threat could last longer south of the US 80. There is also a possibility of redevelopment behind this initial wave from Tuesday evening to Wednesday morning. We will monitor this; be alert to changes in forecasts. Strong gusts of wind over 80 km/h, hail and tornadoes are possible; however, the risk depends on where the storms may form. Some adverse conditions exist as limiting factors, so we’ll be watching to see which scenario wins out in this case. Heavy Rain: The chance of excessive rain appears lower than a few days ago, but we’re still expecting at least 1-2 inches of rain over most of central Alabama through Wednesday. Some localized flash flooding is possible primarily south of Interstate 20 where the ground is more saturated. Heavy rain and thunderstorms continue through Wednesday morning before a cold front pushes moist air out and ushers in a cooler, drier and quieter spell late next week. SEVEN DAY FORECAST Beyond the rainy end of Wednesday, the weather becomes calmer and cooler for Thursday and Friday: much more like January with highs in the 40s/50s and lows in the freezing lows of the 30s. Next weekend brings another chance of a few showers, but we don’t see a remarkable chance of impactful weather between Thursday and the start of the following week (January 9-10). Where did the winter go? The period from December 15 to 27 was an incredible 11 degrees below average in Birmingham: including a four-day period from December 23 to 26 when it was double that (22 degrees below average). The elastic, however, quickly closed. Temperatures have since risen to almost 20 degrees above normal. Will it still be cold? Certainly. Yes. Without a doubt. Will it be like the cold of Christmas? Probably not. It’s a cold outbreak that only happens once every ten years or so. Will it snow this winter? We usually have at least a chance of having snow. The pattern around January 10-20 would be what I’d like to see for winter weather, but at that distance it’s impossible to know for sure. It looks cooler at the end of the coming week and even cooler after January 10 (maybe not exactly January 10).—STAY WEATHER WARNED Download the free WVTM 13 app and turn on alerts for the latest weather updates.
