Sunday Alert: Marginal Severe Storm Risk for Parts of Alabama

What We Are Watching

The Weather Channel said, “A low-pressure system moving out of the Northern Rockies and into the Plains will bring a cold front that could spark severe storms Saturday night and Sunday.”

What Does That Mean for Alabama?

As this storm develops and tracks across several states, once it arrives in Alabama, it will be a “weakening line of showers and storms,” according to the National Weather Service in Birmingham.

Timeline

The timing for this storm system will be Sunday evening into early Monday morning.

Possible Threats

The main concern is for damaging winds up to 60 mph.

“With little to no surface-based instability and weak dynamic support, the overall severe weather threat in Alabama is low,” said James Spann, ABC 33/40, and Townsquare Media Tuscaloosa Chief Meteorologist. “But heavier storms could produce some small hail and gusty winds after midnight Sunday night and early Monday.”

To find out, Stacker consulted data from WalletHub, released June 17, 2020, that compares U.S. beach towns. Ratings are based on six categories: affordability, weather, safety, economy, education and health, and quality of life. The cities ranged in population from 10,000 to 150,000, but they had to have at least one local beach listed on TripAdvisor. Read the full methodology here. From those rankings, we selected the top 50. Readers who live in California and Florida will be unsurprised to learn that many of towns featured here are in one of those two states.
