The SPC has increased the severe weather risk to enhanced (orange) and expanded the risk area to the south for today. Tornadoes, severe wind, and hail are all possible. The stronger threats are all to the north, mostly in Tennessee. The most significant hail threat is just outside of our area into western Tennessee and northern Mississippi. I've included a timing graphic that doesn't completely cover all of our area but I think you can get the idea. There will be some weather across central Alabama later today that is not associated with the severe event, the severe event will be overnight. That isn't to say you shouldn't be weather aware at all times but you can get an idea what I'm talking about looking at the simulated radar animation.
Since it is an overnight event make sure you have multiple ways of receiving warnings.
Stay safe, keep an eye our for changing weather conditions, and listen for watches and warnings.
As it happens today is also safe place selfie day: https://www.weather.gov/wrn/safeplaceselfie.

Have a good day.
