Huntsville, AL – Residents in North Alabama and southern middle Tennessee should prepare for another round of afternoon storms today, with forecasters warning of heavy rainfall, gusty winds, and frequent lightning.
According to the US National Weather Service Huntsville, there is a 30 to 40 percent chance of storms this afternoon and evening. High temperatures are expected to climb into the low 90s before storms develop, increasing the risk of strong downpours and unstable conditions.
The primary threats include heavy rainfall, erratic gusty winds, and dangerous lightning strikes, which may disrupt outdoor activities and create localized hazards. Officials urge residents to remain alert to rapidly changing conditions and monitor for updates throughout the day.
Today’s storm chances are slightly higher than Monday, forecasters noted, meaning residents may see more widespread showers and stronger cells. Those planning outdoor events, sports, or travel should have backup plans in place and be ready to seek shelter if storms approach.
The National Weather Service emphasizes that lightning is a leading cause of storm-related injuries and fatalities. “When thunder roars, go indoors” remains the best advice for staying safe during severe weather.
