Some Alabama schools have delayed opening Friday morning due to storm damage Thursday night.

A line of strong to severe storms was rolling across parts of Alabama on Friday morning, and a severe thunderstorm watch was in effect of part of the state until 10 a.m.

NOAA’s Storm Prediction Center said wind gusts up to 70 mph will be possible in the watch area, as well as “a tornado or two.”

Those storms could maintain intensity through today, and the Storm Prediction Center has a Level 2 out of 5 risk for severe storms for parts of west, central and south Alabama. A Level 2 risk means that scattered severe storms will be possible (see the map at the top of this post).

A larger part of Alabama has a Level 1 out of 5 risk, which means that isolated severe storms will be possible.

AL.com will update the list if more schools make changes to their schedule.
