Huntsville, Alabama – Strong storms could disrupt travel and outdoor plans across Northern Alabama this afternoon and evening, as a low chance for severe weather lingers until 9 PM.
According to the National Weather Service in Huntsville, strong to severe storms may develop after lunchtime, with threats of gusty to damaging winds and pockets of heavy rainfall. The alert covers all of northern Alabama, including Huntsville, Florence, Decatur, and extends into southern Middle Tennessee.
Residents should remain weather aware, as localized downpours could cause ponding on roads and reduced visibility during rush hour. If you hear thunder or see lightning, move indoors immediately. Power outages and tree damage are possible with the strongest storms, especially along I-65 and Highway 72 corridors.
Officials recommend keeping mobile devices charged and having multiple ways to receive emergency warnings—NOAA weather radios, phone alerts, or local news. Outdoor activities and youth sports should be moved inside if storms approach.
While confidence in widespread severe weather remains low, even isolated strong storms can be disruptive. Stay tuned for updates and check local alerts through the evening.
Weather warnings remain possible through 9 PM tonight, with another update expected later this evening if the threat continues.
