Discussion
High pressure will push eastward today into the western Atlantic and this will lead to a southwesterly flow of air which in our area will turn us warmer and more humid. In addition, a vigorous upper-level low will spawn the formation of a strong storm over the Central Plains and this will increase the chances around here for shower and thunderstorm activity during the PM hours on Saturday. In fact, the overall atmospheric setup that appears to be unfolding with a strong surge of warm air and developing low pressure may lead to the formation of strong-to-severe thunderstorms across northern Alabama later tomorrow and the threat for showers and storms may last right into the early part of next week - including the threat for more severe weather.
