A number of Alabama school systems are delaying classes or cancelling school due to the threat of severe weather Monday morning.
An enhanced risk for severe weather is in the forecast for a larger part of Alabama starting late tonight. It will last through the overnight hours and into the day on Monday.
Tornadoes, near hurricane-force winds, hail and heavy rain will all be possible with the strongest storms, according to the National Weather Service.
