What you can expect from Alabama’s severe storm threat this weekend

The National Weather Service continues to monitor the chances for severe weather in Alabama this weekend.

Isolated to scattered severe storms will be possible from late Saturday night into the day on Sunday.

The weather service said isolated tornadoes, damaging winds and hail will all be possible with any stronger storm that develops.

As of Friday there is a wide timing window for potential storms, according to the weather service. That could be narrowed down in the coming days.

NOAA’s Storm Prediction Center is forecasting a Level 2 out of 5 risk for severe storms for parts of Alabama both Saturday and Sunday.

A Level 2 risk means that scattered severe storms will be possible.

This weekend’s severe weather risk is not as intense as the one Alabama faced in mid-March or the storms that Tennessee and Arkansas experienced this week.

The severe weather risk is expected to continue into the day on Sunday for parts of the state.

Here is the outlook for Sunday:

Most of Alabama will be under either a Level 2 or Level 1 risk on Sunday.SPC
