Huntsville, Alabama – Strong storms could impact northern Alabama this evening, prompting emergency officials to urge residents to stay weather-aware and have multiple ways to receive warnings.
According to the National Weather Service in Huntsville, severe thunderstorms are possible after 2 p.m. and may continue into the late-night hours, with damaging winds, hail, and isolated tornadoes not ruled out. A Severe Thunderstorm Watch or Warning may be issued for portions of Madison, Limestone, and Morgan counties as conditions evolve.
Residents are encouraged to use more than one alert method, such as NOAA weather radios, phone alerts, TV broadcasts, outdoor sirens, social media updates, and communication with family and friends. The NWS emphasizes that power outages or poor cell reception can limit how quickly warnings are received—especially in rural areas.
Schools and workplaces should review their emergency shelter plans, and anyone with outdoor activities scheduled tonight is urged to monitor updates frequently and avoid travel if warnings are issued.
Storms are expected to weaken after midnight, but weather alerts may extend into early morning hours. More updates are expected by 6 p.m. or as watches are issued.
