ACTION 8 WEATHER AUTHORITY: Chance for severe weather tonight through Thursday morning

ACTION 8 WEATHER AUTHORITY (WAKA) – You need to prepare for the chance of severe storms tonight through Thursday morning across much of our part of Alabama.

The risk level runs from marginal (level 1 out of 5) up to enhanced (level 3 out of 5). The greater risk is to the northwest of Selma, Montgomery and Alexander City.

Threats include tornadoes, damaging wind gusts, hail up to quarter size and heavy rain.

Now is the time to prepare. 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.
