Storms to hit Alabama with damaging winds, isolated tornadoes early Monday

BIRMINGHAM, Ala. — A powerful storm system is set to sweep through Alabama late Sunday night, bringing with it a threat of severe weather. According to ABC 33/40 Chief Meteorologist James Spann, the main risk will be from strong, potentially damaging straight-line winds, with some hail also possible. While the highest tornado threat is expected to remain north and west of Alabama, an isolated brief tornado or two cannot be ruled out.

The Storm Prediction Center has placed much of Central Alabama under an “enhanced risk” (level 3 out of 5) for severe thunderstorms. A fast-moving line of severe thunderstorms is expected to move through Central Alabama late Sunday night into Monday morning, with damaging winds being the primary concern. Additional threats include isolated tornadoes and hail.
