Hazardous Weather Outlook National Weather Service Huntsville AL 1203 PM CST Tue Feb 22 2022 ALZ001>010-016-TNZ076-096-097-231000- Lauderdale-Colbert-Franklin AL-Lawrence-Limestone-Madison-Morgan- Marshall-Jackson-DeKalb-Cullman-Moore-Lincoln-Franklin TN- 1203 PM CST Tue Feb 22 2022 This Hazardous Weather Outlook is for north Alabama and portions of southern middle Tennessee. .DAY ONE...This Afternoon and Tonight... Isolated thunderstorms are expected to develop to our southwest late this afternoon and track northeastward into the region through the early evening hours. Should these storms become supercellular, severe weather is possible, including tornadoes, damaging winds, and large hail. An additional band of moderate to heavy showers and thunderstorms will evolve along a southward-moving cold front that will move across the area during the early morning hours of Wednesday. Although conditions be less favorable for tornadoes by the time this feature arrives, damaging winds up to 60 MPH will remain a threat. Widespread, locally heavy rainfall will also lead to a high risk for areal and flash flooding, and a Flood Watch remains in effect for the entire outlook area through noon Wednesday. .DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...Wednesday through Monday... Any lingering thunderstorm activity associated with the cold front will end across the southeastern counties shortly after sunrise on Wednesday. However, the front is expected to lift northward into the region as a warm front early Thursday morning. A few elevated thunderstorms will be possible as this occurs. A final band of showers and thunderstorms featuring a risk of gusty winds and locally heavy rainfall will occur late Thursday night or early Friday morning, ahead of a stronger cold front. Another storm system is expected to impact the outlook area over the weekend, with a wintry mixture of rain and snow possible across the region. .SPOTTER CALL TO ACTION STATEMENT... Activation of storm spotters and emergency management personnel is possible from late this afternoon through Wednesday morning.
