Risk Areas
This severe weather system will not only affect Alabama but also surrounding states, including Arkansas, Louisiana, Mississippi, and Tennessee.
At present, portions of Alabama are at a level 2 out of 5 risk for severe weather. Areas to the north and west of Alabama face an even greater risk, classified as enhanced risk zones.
Potential Threats
The National Weather Service (NWS) in Birmingham warns that the main dangers from this storm include:

- Tornadoes in some areas
Chief Meteorologist James Spann from ABC 33/40 and Townsquare Media Tuscaloosa commented, “The line of storms will move through Alabama at a time when the air is generally more stable, which may help reduce the severity of the threat. However, this remains a highly dynamic system.”
