While parts of the Deep South prepare for a major severe weather event later today, winter storm & blizzard conditions are happening on the back side of the low pressure in parts of Colorado & Kansas. Saturday morning views from near Denver, CO from @therealWILRIGGS… Wow! pic.twitter.com/Fz56BlSgbP

Worth repeating that SW Alabama has a much lower-end severe weather risk in place compared to areas to the north. Isolated strong to severe storms could happen late this evening as a weakening line of storms moves through. The overall tornado risk here is not zero, but it’s low. pic.twitter.com/22FuTnaGu0
