Scattered strong storms this weekend bring possible high winds, hail, flooding

ALSO. TAKE IT AWAY. ALL RIGHT. LET’S TAKE A LOOK. WELL, TODAY WAS A HOT DAY, Y’ALL. VERY HOT HIGH TEMPERATURE IN BIRMINGHAM WAS 91 TODAY. SO A HOT SUMMER DAY. WE HAD SUNSHINE AND CLOUDS, BUT MORE SUN THAN CLOUDS. AND THAT’S WHY WE HEAT IT UP VERY QUICKLY. STILL WARM IN BIRMINGHAM NOW, 76 DEGREES, 76 IN TUSCALOOSA AS WELL. WE’RE AT 72 DEGREES IN FAYETTE, ETOWAH COUNTY, RIGHT NEAR 70, AT 71 DEGREES. IMPACT WEATHER TOMORROW, SOME STRONGER STORMS COME IN FROM THE WEST. A HUGE COMPLEX OUT IN THE GREAT PLAINS NOW. AND THEY’RE GOING TO PUSH EAST. I’M EXPECTING TWO ROUNDS, ONE IN THE MORNING AND THEN ONE IN THE EVENING. WVTM 13 LIVE DOPPLER CLEARS CAN BE ON THIS SATURDAY EVENING. IT’S VERY QUIET. THERE WERE SOME STORMS EARLIER, BUT THEY WERE VERY SPOTTY IN NATURE. SOME OF YOU PROBABLY DIDN’T EVEN KNOW THAT WE HAD ANY TO THE WEST, LOOK AT THESE SEVERE STORMS IN OKLAHOMA, TO THE NORTH, IN KANSAS, AS WELL AS TEXAS. THESE ARE SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WARNINGS. THAT’S WHAT THOSE POLYGONS ARE. AND THESE STORMS ARE GOING TO IMPACT US TONIGHT. MORROW THEY’RE GOING TO RUSH EAST ACROSS ARKANSAS AND MISSISSIPPI AND THEN EVENTUALLY MAKE IT TO US AS EARLY AS TOMORROW MORNING. TONIGHT STAYS QUIET. IT’S GOING TO BE WARM AND MUGGY. MAYBE SOME FOG DEVELOPS AHEAD OF THE STORMS TOMORROW MORNING. AND THEN WE’RE IN THE 70S. STORMS AS SOON AS SUNRISE AND THEN THE AFTERNOON NOON, ANOTHER ROUND OF STORMS. LET’S WALK YOU THROUGH IT AND JUST SEE WHAT WE CAN BE DEALING WITH. SOME OF THESE ON THE STRONG TO SEVERE SIDE. SO THIS IS 7 A.M. TOMORROW MORNING. SIMULATED RADAR SHOWS THESE STORMS COMING IN FROM THE WEST. THEY ENTER WEST ALABAMA, BUT THEY’RE GOING TO BE FAIRLY WEAK IN THE MORNING. THEY’LL WEAKEN, DISSIPATE BY MID-MORNING, JUST LEFT OVER WITH A FEW SHOWERS BY TEN, 11 A.M. AND THERE’S A LULL IN THE RAIN FROM ABOUT ONE TO MAYBE SIX. IT APPEARS FOR A LITTLE WHILE. YOU CAN SEE IT’S PRETTY THERE’S NOT MUCH COVERAGE. NINE 9:10 P.M. BEGINS TO RAMP UP AGAIN. WE GET A SECOND WAVE OF THESE COMPLEX STORMS THEY PUSH IN FROM THE WEST, SOME OF THEM VERY HEAVY. AND YOU’LL NOTICE THE BRIGHTER COLORS, THE REDS, THE PURPLES. THAT MEANS STRONG UPDRAFTS, TALL THUNDERSTORMS AND THOSE ARE THE ONES THAT CARRY HAIL TOMORROW. HAIL IS A THREAT ALONG WITH GUSTY WINDS AND HEAVY RAINFALL. THIS IS 6 A.M. ON MONDAY MORNING. STILL A LOT OF HEAVY RAIN, ESPECIALLY SOUTH OF INTERSTATE 20. I BELIEVE THE STORMS WE GET TOMORROW NIGHT COULD CARRY US WELL INTO THE EARLY MORNING HOURS OF MONDAY. STORM FUEL IS MORE THAN SUFFICIENT. TOMORROW WEAKENS THROUGH THE EVENING AND THE AFTERNOON. BUT YOU’LL NOTICE THESE COLORS STILL PRETTY BRIGHT HEADING INTO EIGHT, NINE, 10:00. AND THAT’S WHEN I THINK WE’RE GOING TO SEE THE SEVERE WAVE OF STORMS IS THE SECOND ONE. THE STORM PREDICTION CENTER DOES HAVE A RISK OUT FOR TOMORROW. WEST ALABAMA IN THE SLIGHT RISK, TUSCALOOSA COUNTIES, WALKER COUNTIES TOWARDS THE WEST OF MISSISSIPPI AND THEN BIRMINGHAM, EAST ETOWAH COUNTY, TALLADEGA COUNTY, WE ARE IN A MARGINAL RISK FOR SEVERE WEATHER.
