Strong storms, flooding and dangerous heat will all be concerns in parts of Alabama on Friday, according to forecasters.

Flash flooding has been a big issue in parts of northern Alabama, where several flash flood warnings were issued on Friday morning.

The city of Oneonta in Blount County has been particularly hard-hit with flooding as of Friday morning, according to the National Weather Service:

Flood watches and heat advisories will be in effect in various areas through tonight. Areas that don’t get rain could see the heat index climb as high as 111 degrees this afternoon. Areas that get repeated storms could see up to 3 inches of rain.

There could also be a few severe storms in the mix.

NOAA’s Storm Prediction Center is forecasting a Level 1 out of 5 risk for severe weather today for parts of Alabama today. A Level 1 risk means isolated severe storms will be possible.

The strongest storms could have damaging winds and heavy rain. Storms were moving across parts of the state on Friday morning and could intensify as heat levels rise today.
