A frontal system that stalled to our south yesterday will turn around and advance northward as a warm front today and it’ll result in windy, warmer and more humid conditions across northern Alabama after a chilly start. A strong disturbance will swing east at the same time the warmer and more humid air arrives and this combination will raise the chances for strong-to-severe thunderstorm activity late today and early tonight. Given the already well saturated grounds, any heavy rainfall later today and tonight can result in localized flash flooding conditions across northern Alabama. The shower threat will diminish on Thursday and it'll turn noticeably colder around here to end the work week.
