Birmingham, Alabama – Scattered thunderstorms are expected to intensify this afternoon and evening, with isolated severe storms possible across central Alabama.
According to the US National Weather Service in Birmingham, storm coverage and strength are forecast to increase through the late afternoon hours. While forecasters note confidence has slightly lowered in how widespread severe development may become, a few storms could still produce large hail and damaging wind gusts.
The agency said storm activity earlier in the day could influence how unstable the atmosphere becomes later this afternoon. If early storms weaken conditions, the overall severe risk may remain limited. However, if the environment remains favorable, stronger storms could develop.
Residents are urged to stay weather-aware and ensure they have multiple ways to receive warnings if issued. The primary threats identified are large hail and damaging winds.
The timing could affect afternoon commuters and students heading home from school.
More updates are expected as conditions evolve through the evening.
