First Alert Weather: First Alert Weather Day begins at midnight for a low-end threat for severe storms

BIRMINGHAM, Ala. (WBRC) – We have declared early Sunday morning as a First Alert Weather Day. We are forecasting a line of heavy rain and gusty winds to move through central Alabama Sunday between midnight through 7 a.m.

A few storms could become strong or severe, so you’ll need to have multiple ways to receive warnings just in case they are issued. It has been a mild start to the day with a partly to mostly cloudy sky. Temperatures are warming into the upper 70s and lower 80s with south winds at 5 to 10 mph.

We are watching a cold front that is producing a line of showers and storms across Oklahoma and into north Texas. Storms will continue to develop along this line, and it will race to the east tonight giving us a risk to see heavy rain and the threat for an isolated severe storm.

The good news is that our weather this afternoon and evening should remain mostly dry. We are looking at a partly to mostly cloudy sky with highs climbing into the mid to upper 80s. Winds are forecast to come from the south at 10 to 15 mph. An isolated shower can’t be ruled out late this evening (8 to 11 p.m.) in west Alabama, but most of us will remain dry during the daylight hours…
