<\/a><\/p>\nHere are the updated key messages…<\/p>\n
*Severe storms could move into Northwest Alabama as early as Friday night, generally after 9:00 p.m. We expect multiple rounds of strong to severe storms Friday night through Sunday morning; the broad window from 9:00 p.m. Friday through 6:00 a.m. Sunday. Of course, we won’t have continuous rain during this 33 hour window… the sun might even pop out at times. But just understand a strong\/severe thunderstorm is possible at any hour during this time frame.<\/p>\n
*I know there are many outdoor events Saturday; there is no way of knowing exactly when a severe storm will move through a specific city or town at this point. Just be very weather aware Friday night through Sunday morning during the defined window.<\/p>\n
*All modes of severe weather will be possible with the heavier storms, including large hail, damaging winds, and a few tornadoes. A strong tornado will be possible, if not likely under these conditions (EF-2 or higher by definition).<\/p>\n
*Gradient winds (not related to thunderstorms) will gust to 30\/40 mph. Not as extreme as the gradient winds we experienced with the event one week ago. The main concern will be severe storms this time.<\/p>\n
*Rain amounts of 2-3 inches are possible, and some flooding issues could develop. Heaviest rain will be across North Alabama.<\/p>\n
*Is this another April 27, 2011? No. That event was generational. But every severe weather threat needs to be taken seriously; all it takes is one tornado coming down your street to make it YOUR April 27. This does look like a higher end severe weather threat for Alabama.<\/p>\n
*Have a reliable way of hearing warnings; never an outdoor siren. A NOAA Weather Radio is the baseline. Be sure WEA (Wireless Emergency Alerts) are enabled on your phone, and have the ABC 33\/40 weather app installed.<\/p>\n
*Know the safe place in your home, and in that places have helmets for everyone. If you live in a mobile home, know the location of the nearest shelter or business that is open 24\/7 that can serve as a shelter. Have transportation arranged.<\/p>\n
Once we get within 60 hours of the event we will be able to see output from high resolution, convection allowing models that will give us a much better idea of the small scale features that usually determine the magnitude of a severe weather event.<\/p>\n
The sky begins to clear Sunday as dry air returns to the Deep South.<\/p>\n
NEXT WEEK: The weather looks dry for the first half of the week; global models suggest a disturbance could bring showers and possibly a thunderstorm to Alabama late Wednesday and Wednesday night. See the video briefing for maps, graphics, and more details.<\/p>\n
