High risk of severe weather for Mississippi and Alabama

A significant severe weather event is expected to impact Alabama, lingering from Saturday afternoon until early Sunday morning, with a Level 3 risk for severe weather tonight in north and western parts of the state including Florence, Decatur, Hamilton, and Russellville.
The severe weather threat is driven by the potential for supercells and individual severe storms capable of producing tornadoes, especially if a cap of warmer air temperatures aloft fails to hold.
Areas to the west, including Huntsville and Birmingham, are under a Level 2 risk and could experience scattered severe storms, while areas including Mobile, Greenville, Montgomery, Talladega, and Gadsden are under a Level 1 risk.
Non-Thunderstorm winds are expected to pick up on Saturday, with gusts as high as 45 mph that could knock out power and take down tree limbs.
Alabamians are urged to prepare for widespread severe storms, ensure they have a reliable way to receive weather warnings, including NOAA weather radio and smartphone apps, and keep their phones charged and off silent mode, particularly in risk areas, as "some kind of impactful weather is absolutely going to be seen.
