Weather Aware Friday, Saturday, and Sunday for a threat of strong to severe storms

Stay Weather Aware from Friday through Sunday for Strong to Severe Storms
A cold front will approach Alabama on Friday, accompanied by an upper-level wave, triggering scattered showers and storms. A cluster of storms (MCS) is anticipated to track across the northern part of the state during the late afternoon and evening.
There is a Level 1 to 2/5 Risk for severe weather across Central Alabama, with the highest threat located north of I-20. The main threat will be gusty winds. It will be hot and humid, with highs in the upper 80s and a heat index in the 90s before the storms arrive.
Bring your rain gear to the Steel City Smooth Jazz Fest.
Weekend Outlook: The cold front will stall north of Alabama in Tennessee this weekend, creating a northwest flow weather pattern. This will allow a series of upper-level waves to bring a cluster of strong to severe storms (MCS) across Alabama on Saturday.
The SPC has placed Central Alabama under a Level 2/5 Slight Risk for severe storms that may produce gusty winds. Highs will be in the middle 80s.
Another MCS is likely on Sunday, maintaining the same northwest flow weather pattern. These storms could be strong to severe, featuring gusty winds and highs in the lower 80s. Additionally, Saharan dust could move into the southeastern U.S. this weekend, causing the sky to take on a milky hue and creating beautiful sunrises and sunsets each day.
Next Week's Outlook: The front will remain stalled north of Alabama. The warm and humid air will sustain an unstable atmosphere, allowing for daily scattered showers and storms. Some could be strong to severe with gusty winds, hail, and heavy rain. High temperatures will be in the mid-80s, and the heat index will reach the lower 90s.
