Northwest Alabama under Level 1 Risk

Alabama is monitoring the skies this weekend as weather experts forecast a slight chance of severe storms. The northwest part of the state is under a Level 1 risk, the lowest on the scale. This indicates that while storms are possible, they are not highly likely.

Main Concerns
