ACTION 8 WEATHER AUTHORITY: Severe weather risk for entire area Wednesday Night

ACTION 8 WEATHER AUTHORITY: Most of Alabama has now been upgraded to a Slight Risk for severe weather (Level 2 out of 5) through Thursday morning.

Storms will enter West Alabama late Wednesday evening then advance east overnight.

Main threats: Damaging wind gusts up to 60MPH, a couple (likely brief) tornadoes, and large hail up to quarter (1″) size.

Now is the time to prepare, especially because the threat is mainly overnight.

First, download the free Action 8 weather app:
iPhone – Android

Next, make sure you have more than one way to get weather alerts. A NOAA weather radio in addition to your phone (with your emergency alerts turned on) make for a good combination. Do not depend on sirens to keep you protected.

Know where to go inside your home if severe weather is imminent. If you live in a mobile home, you need to find sturdy shelter somewhere else. Plan now for what you will do.

Action 8 News will bring you live coverage on-air, online and on your phone. We will be staffed around the clock until the severe weather threat passes.
