Huntsville, AL – A strong storm system is expected to impact North Alabama late Sunday night into Monday morning, bringing the potential for tornadoes, large hail, flash flooding, and damaging winds.
According to the National Weather Service in Huntsville, current trends show the storm system arriving later than initially expected, with the most intense activity likely between late Sunday, March 30, and early Monday, March 31. While exact timing and storm track details remain uncertain, forecasters are closely monitoring conditions across the Tennessee Valley.
The primary hazards include isolated tornadoes, gusts exceeding 60 mph, localized flash flooding, and hail up to the size of quarters or larger. Counties including Madison, Limestone, Morgan, and Lauderdale are under a heightened risk level during this period.
Officials urge residents to prepare now. Secure outdoor objects before breezy conditions begin, ensure weather alerts are activated on mobile devices, and review severe weather safety plans. Non-thunderstorm winds may reach 25 mph during the weekend ahead of the storms.
This storm system tracks with a cold front moving eastward, bringing strong instability and moisture. While severe weather in late March is typical for the region, residents are advised to stay weather-aware through early next week.
