Slight Risk For North And Parts Of Central Alabama Today

Well the SPC has placed most of north and central Alabama under a slight risk for severe weather today. THIS HAZARDOUS WEATHER OUTLOOK IS FOR NORTH AND CENTRAL ALABAMA AND PORTIONS
OF SOUTHERN MIDDLE TENNESSEE.

.DAY ONE...TODAY AND TONIGHT...

MODERATE TO HEAVY RAIN WILL SPREAD ACROSS THE AREA TODAY...
ESPECIALLY THIS AFTERNOON AND EVENING. ISOLATED INSTANCES OF FLASH
FLOODING ARE POSSIBLE...BUT A WIDESPREAD FLOOD THREAT IS NOT
ANTICIPATED AT THIS TIME.

EMBEDDED THUNDERSTORMS ARE ALSO EXPECTED TODAY...WITH GUSTY WINDS
POSSIBLE IN ANY THUNDERSTORMS THAT DEVELOP.

.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...WEDNESDAY THROUGH MONDAY...

AN UNSETTLED WEATHER PATTERN WILL CONTINUE THROUGHOUT THE REST OF
THE WEEK...AND POTENTIALLY THROUGH THE WEEKEND. DEEP TROPICAL
MOISTURE WILL REMAIN ANCHORED ACROSS THE TENNESSEE VALLEY...AND
COMBINE WITH WEAK DISTURBANCES ALOFT TO CREATE ADDITIONAL ROUNDS OF
SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS.

GIVEN THE ABUNDANT MOISTURE IN PLACE...THERE WILL BE A THREAT FOR
FLASH FLOODING THROUGHOUT THE PERIOD...ESPECIALLY THURSDAY INTO
FRIDAY. ALTHOUGH UNUSUAL FOR THIS TIME OF YEAR...A MORE
GENERAL/WIDESPREAD FLOODING THREAT MAY ALSO TAKE SHAPE LATER IN THE
PERIOD...IF THERE ARE SEVERAL ROUNDS OF HEAVY RAINFALL.

ADDITIONALLY...A FEW STRONG THUNDERSTORMS CAPABLE OF PRODUCING GUSTY
WINDS CANNOT BE RULED OUT...PARTICULARLY ON WEDNESDAY.

.SPOTTER CALL TO ACTION STATEMENT...

ACTIVATION OF STORM SPOTTERS AND EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT PERSONNEL IS
NOT ANTICIPATED AT THIS TIME
