HUNTSVILLE, Ala. (WHNT) — While isolated storms will be possible Sunday and Monday across the Tennessee Valley, a more potent storm system is forecast to track through the area Tuesday into Wednesday.
Ahead of a widespread threat of strong to severe storms, The Weather Authority has issued an Impact Day from Tuesday afternoon into early Wednesday morning.
Storms that can develop will be capable of producing damaging winds, large hail, frequent lightning, and tornadoes. Outside of storms, winds will also be on the stronger side. Gusts between 25 to 30 mph will be possible.
A potent storm system is forecast to move into the region, leading to a warm front passage. This warm front passage will allow for the increase of warm and moisture into the region.
The Tennessee Valley will also be placed in an area between the cold and warm fronts known as the ‘warm sector’. This sector will have all the ingredients present to support the widespread coverage of strong to severe storms.
The Storm Prediction Center has the area for a 30% or greater chance of a severe storm to form within 25 miles of the area highlighted in orange.
Isolated Strong to Severe Storms Ahead Of Tuesday:
Ahead of Tuesday’s widespread strong to severe storm impact, multiple disturbances tracking through the area will support the chance of isolated thunderstorms.
The rain chance will not be widespread, and this period is not expected to be a complete washout. This being said, isolated strong to severe storms will be possible. If these storms can develop they will be capable of producing strong winds, heavy rain, and hail.
Make sure to stick with Weather Authority for the latest on the timeline and forecast updates.
