Tornado risk Friday afternoon, more storms Memorial Day weekend
Showers and storms became widespread across west Alabama Friday morning. A few storms were rotating, prompting a few tornado warnings just southwest of our area in Clarke county. A risk for mainly brief tornadoes continues Friday afternoon, mainly west of I-65. The storm prediction center places a MARGINAL (level 1/5) severe risk generally along and west of I-65. Additionally, storms “training” over the same areas may lead to localized flooding.
Otherwise, Friday looks mainly cloudy with high temperatures in the 80s. Showers and storms eventually spread east of I-65 through this evening, but rain coverage may remain lower.
