A nearly stationary cold front is slowly approaching north Alabama and will finally arrive Saturday creating perfect conditions for showers and storms starting early this morning and peaking this afternoon.
In addition to bringing some much needed rain, the front is also bringing relief from the heat. This weekend's severe storm threat is low but not zero. However, we are monitoring the risk for localized flash flooding and gusty winds.
Both Saturday and Sunday have storm chances staying isolated in the morning and peaking in the early afternoon. Those storms stay in the area until after dinnertime, each night.
