TODAY IS AN ALERT DAY AND WE USE THIS SYMBOL WHEN THERE IS THE POTENTIAL FOR SOME LIFE THREATENING WEATHER. WE DO HAVE SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS FORECAST THIS AFTERNOON THROUGH TONIGHT, ALL TO INCLUDE TORNADOES. IT COULD EVEN BE A COUPLE OF.
STRONG TORNADOES, DAMAGING WINDS, SOME VERY LARGE HAIL, POSSIBLE TWO. IN ADDITION TO THAT, THERE COULD BE SOME FLASH FLOODING WITH MULTIPLE ROUNDS OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS EXPECTED TODAY AND COULD VERY WELL MOVE OVER SOME OF THE SAME AREAS.
OUR CHIEF METEOROLOGIST, JASON SIMPSON, MADE THIS GRAPHIC LAST NIGHT AND I THINK IT'S PERFECT TO THIS MORNING BEFORE YOU LEAVE THE HOUSE, FIGURE OUT WHERE YOU'RE GOING TO BE TODAY, REALLY ALL THROUGHOUT THE DAY. TALK TO YOUR FAMILY ABOUT YOUR SEVERE WEATHER PLAN WHERE THEY.
ARE GOING TO BE LATER ON TODAY AND MAKE SURE THEY KNOW WHERE TO GO WHEN THOSE ALERTS ARE ISSUED A FEW HOURS BEFORE THE ONSET OF THE THTHE SEVERE WEATHER IS WHEN WE WILL LIKELY SEE A TORNADO WATCH ISSUED. WE'LL LIKELY SEE THAT PROBABLY BETWEEN ABOUT 10 A.M. THIS.
MORNING AND ABOUT NOON TODAY, AS WE EXPECT SOME OF THOSE SEVERE STORMS TO START TO MOVE INTO OUR WESTERN COUNTIES AROUND NOON. AND SO WHEN A WARNING IS ISSUED FOR YOUR AREA, YOU ALREADY NEED TO KNOW WHERE YOU'RE GOING. AND SO ALL YOU HAVE TO DO IS ACT.
ONCE THOSE WARNINGS ARE ISSUED TODAY, THE SEVERE WEATHER RISK MAP REALLY HASN'T CHANGED A WHOLE LOT IN THE LAST 24 HOURS. EVERYBODY IS UNDER A RISK FOR SEVERE STORMS, INCLUDING TORNADOES TODAY. HERE'S A LOOK AT SOME OF THE THE TIMING THAT WE'RE EXPECTING,.
THOUGH. SO FOR PLACES LIKE WINFIELD AND GU-WIN AND DOUBLE SPRINGS AND HALEYVILLE AND HACKLEBURG FAYETTE AND DOWN TOWARD EL ROD, TUSCALOOSA, HAVANA, GREENSBORO, BETWEEN ABOUT 12 AND SIX TODAY, THAT'S WHEN WE THINK THE TIMEFRAME FOR SOME OF THOSE.
SEVERE STORMS WILL BE FOR YOU. AND THEN ONCE WE GET CLOSER TO CULLMAN AND HAYDEN AND JASPER, BIRMINGHAM, ADAMSVILLE GRAYSVILLE DOWN THROUGH PELHAM AND ALABASTER OR COLUMBIANA, CHELSEA CENTREVILLE BRENT A LOT OF THOSE AREAS BETWEEN ABOUT TWO AND 9:00 AND THEN OVER TOWARD.
ANNISTON AND OXFORD, GADSDEN RAINBOW CITY, SOUTH SIDE, SYLACAUGA JACKSON VILLE, ALEXANDER CITY AND EVEN ROCKFORD KELLYTON BETWEEN ABOUT FOUR AND 11:00. AND AS WE LOOK AT THE FUTURE CARS AND ALL THIS IS, IS A PRODUCT THAT GIVES US A SNAPSHOT.
OF WHAT WE THINK THE RADAR MAY LOOK LIKE A LITTLE BIT LATER ON TODAY. AND THESE ARE SOME PRETTY SIGNIFICANT SUPERCELL THUNDERSTORMS THAT START TO SHOW UP THROUGH THE AFTERNOON. AND ANY ONE OF THESE COULD VERY WELL PRODUCE A TORNADO AND.
PERHAPS EVEN A STRONG TORNADO. NOW, WE CAN'T SAY FOR CERTAIN THAT THIS IS THE EXACT LOCATION THAT THEY WILL BE IN AT THIS EXACT TIME. BUT THE IDEA THAT THERE WILL BE SOME ONGOING SUPERCELLS THAT COULD VERY WELL PRODUCE TORNADOES, AND THAT'S THE.
GENERAL THEME HERE. AND SO THAT'S WHY WE NEED TO IT TO MAKE SURE THAT WE ARE READY TO GO AS FAR AS OUR PLAN FOR LATER ON THIS AFTERNOON. AND THIS IS EXPECTED TO CONTINUE INTO THE EVENING. AND AS I MENTIONED, THERE COULD BE A FEW STORMS THAT KIND OF.
MOVE OVER SOME OF THE SAME AREAS. AND SO JUST BECAUSE YOU GET ONE TORNADO WARNING TODAY IN YOUR AREA DOESN'T MEAN THAT YOU ARE DONE AS THERE COULD VERY WELL BE SOME ADDITIONAL STORMS THAT ROLL THROUGH, TOO. I THINK BY AROUND 11:00 AND.
MIDNIGHT TONIGHT, THE THREAT WILL BE ENDING. BUT THE HEAVY RAIN THREAT WILL CONTINUE FOR A FEW HOURS AFTER THAT. AFTER TODAY, THE WEATHER LOOKS PRETTY QUIET THROUGH THE WEEKEND. IT WILL BE COLD TOMORROW, BUT.
THEN WARMING UP FOR SATURDAY AND SUNDAY. SARAH ALL RIGHT.
