Important note for overnight hours:
Expect wind gusts of 50–60 mph overnight, capable of producing widespread downed trees and power outages.
The current Tropical Storm Warning remains in effect. Severe Thunderstorm Warnings will not be issued for wind threats due to the Tropical Storm Warning covering the threats through the night. Tornado Warnings will still be issued if conditions warrant.
The strongest wind swath is forecast to move into Central Alabama late this evening, spread across the area overnight, and push northward Saturday morning.
Plan now for these damaging winds.
Secure or bring inside loose outdoor items, charge essential devices, and prepare for possible power outages.
Stay indoors during the strongest gusts and keep a reliable way to receive tornado warnings overnight.
