Alabama may not have to deal with strong storms on Thursday after all.

NOAA’s Storm Prediction Center has dropped a Level 1 risk for severe weather for the southeast corner of the state, instead confining it to part of the Florida Panhandle.

The National Weather Service said that instability levels aren’t expected to be high enough to support severe storms in Alabama — although a strong storm can’t be ruled out later this afternoon in south Alabama.

Strong storms are not expected for the rest of Alabama, either.

But it will be a rainy day for much of the state, according to forecasters.

Rain is expected to work its way across the state today, and some spots could get an inch or more.

Here’s the precipitation outlook for Thursday from NOAA’s Weather Prediction Center:

The rain is expected to move out by Friday, but it will continue to be cool, with temperatures below freezing expected by Saturday morning for much of the state.

Here are the low temperatures expected from Friday night into Saturday morning:

A gradual warmup is expected starting Saturday and will continue through next week.

The next chance for rain will arrive possibly on Tuesday but more likely on Wednesday of next week. So far no severe weather is expected in Alabama.
