Storms, Warm Front Moving North

Well, as expected, the warm front is coming north tonight as rich Gulf of Mexico moisture is lifted northward ahead of our approaching storms system.

There have already been three severe thunderstorm warnings across coastal sections, thanks to those 70F degree dewpoints you see on the graphic.

These storms will continue moving northward through the overnight hours, moving into Central Alabama during the predawn hours. While they are expected to remain elevated in nature (they will be rooted well above the surface, which lessens their severe threat somewhat) any that can become surface based can produce damaging winds or even a tornado. Hail will be a threat in any case.

Most of Alabama is in the current SPC Day One Slight Risk through 7 a.m.

We will have the new Day One that goes into effect at 7 a.m. CDT Wednesday a little after 1 a.m.
