Rain and storms are expected to hang around parts of Alabama today, and a few of them could be on the strong side.

NOAA’s Storm Prediction Center has added a Level 1 out of 5 risk for severe weather for parts of south and west Alabama today (Tuesday).

A Level 1 risk (or marginal risk) means that isolated severe storms will be possible.

The strongest storms could have damaging winds and hail. The tornado risk is low to zero.

The National Weather Service expects a stalled out frontal boundary to linger across parts of north and central Alabama today.

That boundary had spawned a lot of rain and some storms over that region as of Tuesday morning.

Additional storms could form in the heat of the day today in parts of west Alabama, and there’s a chance one or two of those could reach severe limits.

That frontal boundary is expected to fall apart by Wednesday, but the weather service expects rain chances to linger into Wednesday and Thursday.

No severe weather is in the forecast (at least so far) for the next few days.

Rain chances each day will resemble a summertime pattern and peak in the afternoon hours.

Those in north and central Alabama should expect daily chances for afternoon showers and storms through Saturday, when rain chances are expected to drop.

South Alabama will see rain chances decrease starting on Thursday and through the weekend, according to the weather service.
