Severe Weather Threat Looms Over Alabama with Tornadoes and Damaging Winds Expected
Alabama is bracing for a weekend of severe weather, with heavy rain, damaging winds, and the potential for tornadoes across much of the state. Multiple tornado watches have been issued, and meteorologists warn that strong storms are likely to move in overnight Saturday into Sunday morning. Areas such as the Wiregrass region and Central Alabama are under heightened risk, prompting officials to declare Weather Impact Days and issue live coverage alerts. As thunderstorms approach, residents are advised to stay aware of changing weather conditions, with updates coming from various NWS offices. The storm system, significant enough to warrant code red alerts, is also expected to bring freezing wind chills and excessive rainfall, raising concerns about flooding in East Alabama and West Georgia.
