HUNTSVILLE, Ala. (WHNT) — The Weather Authority has issued an Impact Day for the area from late Sunday through mid-morning Monday. As a strong cold front tracks through the region, showers and storms will develop; some storms could be strong to severe.
Impact Days are issued for any impactful weather, which could range from extreme heat and extreme cold to organized severe storms and tornadoes. We won’t hype the forecast but rather inform you about days when the weather could impact your safety.
The main timeframe for the strongest storms to develop will be late Sunday night through mid-morning Monday. This means the threat of severe weather will be around for the morning commute into school & work.
A Severe T’Storm Watch is in effect until noon Monday.
A cap in the atmosphere prevented storms from developing Sunday afternoon. This cap will break down this evening, supporting the development of storms overnight.
The line of storms will move into Northwest Alabama between midnight and 1 a.m and exit Northeast Alabama by 9 a.m. Monday. Once the line moves into Georgia, lingering rain showers will be possible, and temperatures will fall by the evening commute into the 60s.
With this being an overnight event, make sure you have multiple ways to receive weather alerts that will wake you up in the middle of the night.
Damaging winds over 60 mph, large hail, frequent lightning, and heavy rain will be the primary threats from storms. There will also be a threat of tornadoes, especially along and west of I-65. The heavy rain from storms will cause ponding on roads, and we will need to monitor areas that see excessive rainfall. Isolated flash flooding may become a concern. On average, 0.75 to 1.25 inches is likely across the area, with isolated higher totals possible.
Stay weather aware and stay with the Weather Authority for the latest!
