Alabama has two more days of potentially stormy weather to endure before a change arrives this weekend.

The National Weather Service is forecasting drier weather and lower humidity levels statewide starting on Saturday and lasting into next week.

But there will be two more stormy days to get through first.

NOAA’s Storm Prediction Center is forecasting a Level 1 out of 5 (marginal) risk for severe weather for much of Alabama for Thursday.

A Level 1 risk means isolated severe storms will be possible.

The exceptions are north-central and northeast Alabama, but those areas could also get more rain and storms.

Today’s stronger storms could have damaging wind gusts and hail.

Rain and storms were ongoing across the state on Thursday morning and will be possible through the day today. Some of those storms have the potential to be strong through the evening hours.

More storms will be possible on Friday as a cold front moves through the state.

The Storm Prediction Center has a Level 2 (slight) risk in pace for the southeast corner of Alabama on Friday, which means that scattered severe storms will be possible.

The rest of south Alabama and the southern and eastern parts of central Alabama will have a Level 1 risk on Friday.

Damaging winds and hail will also be the main concerns with Friday’s storms.

On Friday the stronger storms could arrive s during the afternoon and evening hours in south Alabama, according to the weather service.

On Saturday the cold front should be clear of the state, and drier weather is expected to be the story.

Humidity levels will be lower over the weekend, according to the weather service, but will begin to rise next week as high pressure takes control of the weather in the region.

After Friday there is no severe weather in the forecast for Alabama through next week.
