There is an elevated risk (3/5) for areas further west in the state including Tuscaloosa, Demopolis + Jasper.
But most of the state sits in the slight risk (2/5) category for severe weather including places like:
- Auburn
- Birmingham
- Gadsden
- Huntsville
- Montgomery
- Troy
Flooding is a concern around the state after the heavy rain that came through earlier in the week. But there is a potential for high winds and tornadoes.
“We’re expecting a line of strong to severe storms to move across the area Sat night thru Sun morning, with damaging straight line winds & potential for embedded tornadoes within the line. A low chance for localized flooding is also in the forecast due to already saturated ground from yesterday’s rainfall.”

The strongest line of storms is expected to enter the western part of the state Saturday night, moving across Alabama through the early hours of Sunday, Feb. 16.
