OUTLOOK UPGRADE: LEVEL 3 RISK; DAMAGING WIND & TORNADOES POSSIBLE… The Storm Prediction Center has upgraded several communities in southwest Alabama and northwest Florida into their Level 3 (out of 5) enhanced severe weather risk zone valid for today (Monday, May 13, 2024) into tonight. Multiple rounds of severe thunderstorms will be possible today into tonight.
UPDATED: SEVERE WEATHER TIMING – TODAY INTO TONIGHT… Our first round of severe storms is forecast to happen this morning into the early afternoon hours. We may get a break from the storms in the late afternoon and early evening hours ahead of another round of severe weather being possible late tonight into early Tuesday morning. Please have a way to hear warnings throughout the day and into tonight.
ENHANCED, LEVEL 3 (OUT OF 5) DAMAGING WIND RISK… The Storm Prediction Center now includes the southern half of our local area in their Level 3 (out of 5), enhanced severe weather risk zone. This enhanced risk zone is driven by a higher probability of widespread, damaging wind gusts. Tornadoes will also be possible. SPC indicates there may be isolated instances of 70-80+ mph wind gusts. While the Level 3 risk zone represents the locales where SPC believes the risk is highest, please keep in mind that the risk is NOT zero farther inland in the Level 2 (out of 5) risk. No matter which color/number/zone your hometown is in, we all have a risk of severe storms today.

WEATHER ALERT… Severe Thunderstorm Warning issued for Washington-AL County until 6:15 AM.
Alert issued by the National Weather Service MOB at 5:23 AM CDT Monday, May 13, 2024 and is valid until 6:15 AM CDT Monday, May 13, 2024.
The initial threat from thunderstorms early this morning is going to be the potential for damaging wind gusts and hail. Storms are north of the warm front right now, thus limiting any real tornado potential. Higher tornado potential later today.
