Huntsville, AL – A line of strong to severe thunderstorms is expected to move across north Alabama and southern middle Tennessee late Saturday night into early Sunday, bringing the risk of damaging wind gusts and heavy rainfall.
According to the National Weather Service in Huntsville, the storms will develop ahead of a cold front sweeping through the Tennessee Valley. The primary hazard will be strong, potentially damaging winds, though forecasters note a low confidence risk of isolated tornadoes and localized flooding.
The threat window extends from Saturday evening through early Sunday morning, with the greatest impacts likely occurring overnight. Residents are urged to stay weather-aware, especially those with outdoor plans, and ensure they have multiple ways to receive warnings.
Confidence is medium for damaging winds and low for tornado or flooding potential, but officials caution that even non-severe storms could produce hazardous conditions.
Cooler, drier weather is expected to return Sunday afternoon behind the cold front.
