Overnight severe weather can be very dangerous, so we want to make sure you stay weather aware and have a plan in case a warning is issued. Weather radios are great tools to have for overnight events because they can sound a loud alarm that can wake you up. Make sure you turn on your NOAA Weather Radio and have fresh batteries for it in case you lose power. I would recommend having multiple ways to receive critical weather information. I think the bulk of the storms will move in overnight around 11 PM - 8 AM. Isolated severe storms can’t be ruled out in west Alabama after 9-10 PM Friday. Everyone needs to be ready for the possibility of severe weather Friday night. Areas under the slight risk have a lower threat for severe storms, but we can’t rule out damaging winds up to 60 mph and isolated tornadoes. The rest of Central Alabama is under a slight risk (yellow) - threat level 2 out of 5. The threats in this area include damaging winds up to 70 mph, isolated tornadoes, and large hail.

An enhanced risk - threat level 3 out of 5 (orange) - has been issued for the eastern half of Mississippi and into parts of west Alabama. Areas in the moderate risk could see strong (EF-2 or greater) long-track tornadoes, damaging winds up to 70 mph, and very large hail. The Storm Prediction Center has upgraded the severe threat with a moderate risk (red) - threat level 4 out of 5 - for parts of northeast Louisiana, southeast Arkansas, and west-central Mississippi. Next Big Thing: The big story tomorrow into Saturday is the threat for severe storms across the Southeast.
