Enhanced Level Added to Portions of West Alabama’s Risk Area

This week has been a hectic weather week for our area. As weather conditions update, this means that the outlook for our region could shift.

Risk Area Update

The Storm Prediction Center has significantly changed the severe weather outlook for Alabama tomorrow. The northwest portion of Alabama is under an “enhanced risk,” while there is a slight risk outside that zone.

James Spann, ABC 33/40, and Townsquare Media Tuscaloosa Chief Meteorologist said, “The lack of surface-based instability is the primary reason for the change; the overall tornado threat has been lowered. The "enhanced risk" across Northwest Alabama is for potential for strong winds with a line of storms that will pass through that part of the state tomorrow morning.”

Possible Threats

The main threats could be “tornadoes, damaging winds up to 70, and quarter-size hail,” said the National Weather Service in Birmingham. Also, non-thunderstorm winds with wind gusts as high as 50 mph are threatened.

Timing

The Townsquare Media coverage area is split between 8 a.m. until noon and 11 a.m. until 2 p.m. Now is a great time to understand the county and quadrant of your county.

The Townsquare Media Weather Center Team will be on standby for Friday’s weather events. We will provide nonstop weather coverage whenever a tornado warning is issued for a county under our coverage area.
