Weather Service asks Alabama residents to prepare for possible severe weather next week

The U.S.National Weather Service Birmingham Office is asking residents of Central Alabama to prepare for possible severe weather between February 28th and 29th.

Here is the message they sent out via Facebook:

“Some of you may have heard about the potential for a severe weather event next week, currently in the Wednesday (2/28) to Thursday (2/29) timeframe. That’s certainly something we’re keeping an eye on, as warm spring-like conditions are expected by Monday and Tuesday of next week before a dynamic weather system moves into the region.

At this point, exact timing, severity, and types of hazards are still to-be-determined.  We’ll let you know as soon as we know additional details, but in the meantime it’s a good opportunity to re-check your severe weather safety plan if you haven’t thought about it in a while. Our peak spring severe weather season is just around the corner.”
