Huntsville, AL – Parts of Alabama could see strong to severe thunderstorms late Sunday evening into early Monday morning, prompting weather officials to urge residents to stay alert, especially overnight.
According to the National Weather Service in Huntsville, a line of thunderstorms is expected to move through the region Sunday evening as a cold front approaches. While severe weather is not expected to be widespread, northwest Alabama currently has the highest potential for stronger storms.
The primary severe weather threat is damaging straight-line winds, which could down trees and power lines. Forecasters also note a very low chance of a brief tornado, though confidence in tornado development remains minimal at this time.
The Storm Prediction Center has placed northwest Alabama under a Marginal Risk (Level 1 of 5) for severe weather. This level indicates isolated severe storms are possible but not expected to be widespread.
Rain and thunderstorms are expected to develop Sunday evening, with storm coverage increasing overnight into early Monday morning. Because storms may occur while many people are asleep, officials strongly recommend having multiple ways to receive weather warnings, including NOAA Weather Radio and mobile alerts with emergency notifications enabled.
The National Weather Service emphasizes that forecast details may change as the system approaches and encourages residents to check back for updates through the weekend.
