THIS HAZARDOUS WEATHER OUTLOOK IS FOR THE COUNTIES SERVED BY THE
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE OFFICE IN BIRMINGHAM.

.DAY ONE...TONIGHT.

COMPLEX WEATHER SYSTEM WILL CONTINUE TO DEVELOP OVERNIGHT WITH
POSSIBLE SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS LATE. THE TIME FRAME OF CONCERN WILL BE
BETWEEN 2 AND 6 AM FOR NORTHWEST ALABAMA.

FOR LOCATIONS GENERALLY ALONG AND NORTH OF INTERSTATE 59 AND WEST OF
INTERSTATE 65...WINDS IN THE LOWER LAYERS OF THE ATMOSPHERE WILL
FAVOR THE DEVELOPMENT OF SUPERCELL THUNDERSTORMS. THESE STORMS WILL
BE CAPABLE OF PRODUCING LARGE HAIL...DAMAGING WINDS...AND ISOLATED
TORNADOES.  THE ISOLATED TORNADO THREAT WILL GENERALLY BE CONFINED
TO THE EXTREME NORTHWEST COUNTIES OF MARION AND LAMAR.

FOR LOCATIONS ALONG AND EAST OF INTERSTATE 65 AND SOUTH OF
INTERSTATE 59...THE SEVERE THUNDERSTORM POTENTIAL HAS DECREASED
FOR THE OVER NIGHT HOURS.  THIS IS DUE TO THE SLOW MOVING NATURE
OF THE DEVELOPING STORM SYSTEM.

.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...SUNDAY THROUGH FRIDAY.

ON SUNDAY...SEVERE WEATHER IS STILL A CONCERN...WITH DAMAGING
WINDS AND LARGE HAIL AS THE PRIMARY THREATS. AT THIS TIME, THE THREAT
WILL MAINLY BE FOR AREAS SOUTH OF INTERSTATE 59 AND/OR EAST OF
INTERSTATE 65. THE FRONT WILL BE SLOW TO MOVE THROUGH CENTRAL ALABAMA
AND THUNDERSTORMS MAY PERSIST THROUGH SUNDAY EVENING.

AT THIS TIME...NO HAZARDOUS WEATHER IS EXPECTED MONDAY THROUGH
FRIDAY.
