Greetings from Grandview Hospital in Birmingham - Mom is having some heart inflammation and we have been up here a couple of days now. I am driving back and forth so if they ever make I-65 a toll road, I may go broke! With any luck, she will be at home this afternoon!

There is a vehicle fire closing the southbound lanes on I-65 southbound past Exit 164: US31/Mobile Hwy in Hope Hull. Please seek an alternate route.

Cold through tomorrow night, but a LONG stretch of warm, dry weather headlined the forecast for Thursday afternoon and beyond!

Guess who hit their first homer tonight?! Charlie went yard!!!

Cold tonight, cool tomorrow and chilly again tomorrow night…after that, a LONG stretch of warm, dry weather. Spring Break 2026 sure looks like a winner!

This photo from @alabamapower is about as Alabama as it gets!

Pets indoors, protect your plants - but NO need to drip tonight or tomorrow night!

Sporadic wind damage around the state followed by a few light snow showers - what a day!

Storm Timeline: It won't be stormy this entire time - there will be a 30-45 min period of storms that falls within these time windows. For 95%+ of us, this is a windy, rainy night with some thunder…but isolated tornadoes, damaging wind and large hail could affect a few spots.

Public Service Announcement

Be sure to follow along on all these social accounts tonight into tomorrow - and I will be live tonight on the WSFA First Alert Weather app, too!

You need multiple, reliable ways of getting weather alerts and a plan for where you’ll go if placed under a tornado warning. Power outages will likely occur under the strongest storm cores, so charge your devices and make sure your mobile device is not in silent mode.

Severe weather is possible across the southern half of Alabama between midnight tonight and 8am Monday. Isolated tornadoes and pockets of damaging wind are the main concerns. Not everyone will have those things. For many of us, it’s just some rain, thunder and wind.

Quick morning update - storms tonight could be problematic! I will have more throughout the day…

A complex storm scenario will unfold late Sunday night into Monday morning. A line of storms will move into west Alabama and bring a risk of damaging wind with it. As it moves eastward, some weakening is likely - BUT, individual storm cells could develop in south and east Ala

SUNDAY NIGHT: Damaging wind and isolated tornadoes are possible between 11pm and 7am across the southern half of Alabama. Have multiple, reliable ways of getting weather warnings and know ahead of time where you should go if placed under a tornado warning.

Chilly tonight, windy with a few storms Sunday night, then disrespectfully cold early next week! youtube.com/shorts/xWyzUtZ…

Chilly tonight, windy with a few storms Sunday night, then disrespectfully cold Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday. A LOT of weather for Alabama over the next seven days!

A level 2 out of 5 severe storm risk ramps up tonight between midnight and 7am. Damaging wind gusts and a few tornadoes are the primary concern…
