Discussion

A severe weather outbreak is in the cards for later today and tonight in much of the Lower and Middle Mississippi Valley region and it can result in severe thunderstorms across northern Alabama by the evening. The combination of strong and strengthening low pressure, an incoming cold, dry air mass, and increasingly humid air near the Gulf will lead to widespread showers and storms later today and tonight and some of those storms can reach severe levels with damaging wind gusts the main risk though isolated tornadoes are on the table as well.
