Some parts of Alabama may see a severe storm or two on Saturday.

NOAA’s Storm Prediction Center has added a Level 1 out of 5 (marginal) risk for severe weather for all of north Alabama and northern parts of central Alabama today.

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

The Storm Prediction Center and National Weather Service think that the strongest storms could have damaging straight-line wind gusts capable of taking down trees and power lines.

The National Weather Service thinks the main window for stronger storms today will be from noon until 10 p.m.

Organized severe weather is not expected for Alabama after today, but there will remain daily chances for scattered rain and storms.

The weather service expects a ridge of high pressure to take over the weather pattern for the state over the weekend, but chances for rain and storms will remain each day.

Look for heat levels to go up this weekend and early next week with continued high humidity levels.

So far the combo of heat and humidity isn’t high enough to warrant heat advisories for any part of the state, but forecasters will be keeping an eye on that in case it changes.
