More severe storms were plaguing parts of Alabama on Sunday morning, and severe weather will be in the forecast for the state through Wednesday morning.

A complex of severe storms was working through central Alabama on Sunday morning.

Those storms have prompted numerous severe thunderstorm warnings. Winds in some of the storms have been near hurricane force, according to the National Weather Service.

A severe thunderstorm watch has been issued for parts of central and east Alabama in response and will be in effect until noon CDT:

The Alabama counties in the watch are: Chambers, Clay, Tallapoosa, Cleburne, Calhoun and Randolph.

Numerous downed trees and power outages were being reported in parts of the Tuscaloosa and Birmingham metro areas on Sunday morning — barely 24 hours after another batch of storms hit some of those same areas.

According to Poweroutage.us there were at least 41,000 without power in Alabama as of around 7:15 a.m. Sunday, with most of those being in Pickens, Tuscaloosa and Jefferson counties so far.

Rain and storms will continue to be possible through the day today, and there’s a chance for a few more severe storms.

Those storms could bring more damaging wind gusts, hail and heavy rain. The tornado risk is very low.

NOAA’s Storm Prediction Center has a Level 1 out of 5 (marginal) risk for severe weather for all of north and much of central Alabama today (see today’s forecast map at the top of this post).

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

There will be another Level 1 risk for just northern Alabama on Monday:

Then a more substantial severe weather risk is shaping up for Tuesday afternoon into Tuesday night.

The Storm Prediction Center has already added a Level 3 out of 5 (enhanced) risk for parts of north and west Alabama to its forecast for Tuesday, and a Level 2 risk for the rest of north Alabama and part of central Alabama.

Here’s the outlook for Tuesday:

Tuesday’s storms could again bring the risk of damaging winds, hail, heavy rain — and a few tornadoes, according to the weather service.
