Update on the Severe Weather Threat Through Saturday

 April 8, 2021

There is not much in the way of severe weather expected for the rest of today except for a portion of NE AL and eastern TN, which is in a marginal risk area. On Friday there is a severe weather risk for a large portion of AL and the western FL Panhandle, with slight and marginal risk areas indicated (edit: I should have noted the enhanced area in western AL). On Saturday the risk area shifts south and east, again covering a large portion of AL and all of the FL Panhandle through the Big Bend in a slight risk area. Timing on Friday looks to be later in the day through the evening and overnight with mostly scattered storms. Early in the morning on Saturday a squall line will move through the southeast, leaving the eastern Panhandle in the afternoon. Scattered showers may remain in its wake. Some areas may still see several inches of rain through early next week.

I apologize for the error in timing in yesterday's post. The afternoon timing I mentioned was for the worst weather that occurred to our west and was not correct for arrival of storms in AL.
