ALABAMA — A line of strong thunderstorms is expected to move across north Alabama and parts of southern Tennessee Saturday afternoon, bringing the potential for gusty winds, small hail, and a brief tornado risk as the system pushes through the region.
Forecasters say the storms will develop during the afternoon hours and track east across the state. While widespread severe weather is not expected, the Storm Prediction Center continues to place much of Alabama under a Level 1 “Marginal Risk” for severe storms.
Meteorologists say warmer temperatures ahead of the system, with highs approaching 80 degrees, will help fuel thunderstorm development as the storm line moves through.
