Many Alabamians were waking up to the sound of rain on the roof on Tuesday, but there remains a chance for a few stronger storms closer to the coast.

NOAA’s Storm Prediction Center on Tuesday has cut back its Level 1 out of 5 severe weather risk area in Alabama. As of Tuesday morning it includes only part of southern Alabama. (Previous forecasts had included a large part of central Alabama as well.)

A Level 1 risk means that isolated severe storms will be possible, mainly before noon. Damaging winds are the main concern with any stronger storm that develops.

There have been no reports of severe weather overnight in the state.

The National Weather Service in Mobile was watching stronger storms to the west of south Alabama on Tuesday morning — while also keeping an eye on tidal gauges and coastal flooding.

For areas in north and central Alabama, the weather service was expecting mainly a very beneficial rain, which could help battle drought conditions that have been worsening across the state.

Some areas in Alabama could get several inches of rain before it moves out later today. Here is the updated rainfall forecast from the weather service:

The weather service expects rain and a few storms to continue to move to the east or southeast today ahead of a cold front.

The rain could linger today before a second cold front arrives later and ushers in drier and colder air.

Decreasing clouds and cooler temperatures are expected to take hold on Wednesday, and much cooler conditions are expected through the end of the work week.
