DOCTOR BROWN, GOOD GUY, GOOD GUY. WE HAVE IMPACT WEATHER TO DEAL WITH COMING UP OVER THE NEXT FEW DAYS. THE FIRST ROUND COMES IN TOMORROW, AND THERE IS SOME QUESTION AS TO HOW FAR SOUTH THE STORMS THAT YOU SEE DEPICTED BY THIS ONE FORECAST MODEL RIGHT HERE WOULD BE, BY THIS TIME ON FRIDAY AFTERNOON. ODDS ARE THIS IS PROBABLY A LITTLE TOO FAR SOUTH THERE MOST LIKELY TO BE AFFECTING NORTH ALABAMA THROUGH FRIDAY AFTERNOON AND FRIDAY EVENING. WE LIKELY HAVE A FEW MORE STORMS DURING THE DAY. SATURDAY. THIS IS 4:00 ON SATURDAY. THERE COMES THAT NEXT ROUND AND THEN YET ANOTHER WAVE WILL COME IN ON SUNDAY. SUNDAY IT’S PROBABLY MORE LIKE THE MORNING WHEN THOSE STORMS GET TO US. NONE OF THESE LOOK TO HAVE A TORNADO THREAT WITH THEM, BUT THEY POTENTIALLY COULD BE SEVERE WITH SOME STRONG GUSTY WINDS, HEAVY RAIN, LOTS OF LIGHTNING, MAYBE EVEN SOME SMALL HAIL. BECAUSE OF THE MULTIPLE WAVES OF STORMS AND THE WET WEATHER PATTERN THAT’S GOING TO GO INTO NEXT WEEK. THERE’S A PRETTY GOOD CHANCE THAT WE’RE GOING TO SEE AT LEAST ENOUGH RAIN TO CAUSE THE THREAT OF SOME LOCALIZED FLASH FLOODING THROUGH SATURDAY THROUGH SUNDAY AND INTO MONDAY AS WELL. SOME OF THESE AREAS HIGHLIGHTED IN GREEN COULD HAVE MORE THAN THREE FOUR INCHES OF RAIN, AND WE ARE GOING TO STAY WET WITH DAILY THUNDERSTORMS IN THE FORECAST THROUGH NEXT WEEK. TOTAL RAINFALL LIKELY ENDS UP SOMEWHERE AROUND TWO TO MAYBE FOUR INCHES OVER THE NEXT 7 TO 8 DAYS, SO THERE’S A WHOLE LOT OF IT COMING. AND IT’S BECAUSE OF THIS KIND OF PATTERN. A NORTHWEST FLOW SETS IN THE CLOSER THAT WE ARE TO THE JET STREAM, THE MORE IMPACTFUL THESE WAVES OF THUNDERSTORMS WILL BE. WITH WIDESPREAD HEAVY RAIN, AND ESPECIALLY IN THE AFTERNOONS, SOME OF THEM WILL HAVE THE POTENTIAL TO PRODUCE A LOT OF STRONG, GUSTY WINDS AS WELL. SO HERE’S A CLOSER UP VIEW GOING ALL THE WAY THROUGH NEXT THURSDAY NIGHT. ONE FORECAST MODEL SUGGESTING THAT SOME PARTS OF NORTH ALABAMA AND SOUTHERN TENNESSEE COULD HAVE MORE THAN MAYBE FIVE SIX INCHES OF RAIN, WHEREAS FROM BIRMINGHAM SOUTH WE’RE LOOKING AT MORE LIKE 2 TO 3IN OF RAIN. BUT IT CERTAINLY IS LOOKING STORMY OVER THE NEXT FEW DAYS. AFTERNOON AND EVENING STORMS ON FRIDAY, SOME POTENTIALLY STRONG, ESPECIALLY IN THE LEVEL TWO RISK AREA NORTH OF I-20. I’LL EVEN NARROW THAT DOWN AND SAY MAINLY NORTH OF CULLMAN, ARLEY HAMILTON ONEONTA, GADSDEN, CENTRE AND AROUND HOKES BLUFF JACKSONVILLE NORTHWARD IN THIS 5 TO 9 P.M. RANGE HERE ON FRIDAY. THAT’S WHERE I THINK THE GREATEST POTENTIAL FOR WIDESPREAD HEAVY STORMS WILL BE 6 P.M. TO MIDNIGHT FROM BIRMINGHAM SOUTHWARD. AND THEN IT’S FEW, IF ANY STORMS YOU GET DOWN HERE IN THIS DARK BLUE AREA SOUTH OF CLANTON ON SATURDAY, ANOTHER ROUND OF HEAVY STORMS WILL COME IN IN THE AFTERNOON. I THINK IT’S AS EARLY AS MIDDAY IN NORTHWEST ALABAMA, ABOUT 2 TO 8 AROUND BIRMINGHAM. BUT THIS IS SOMETHING THAT WE’LL HAVE TO ADJUST BECAUSE FRIDAY’S STORMS WILL AFFECT HOW SATURDAY STORMS BEHAVE, AND SATURDAY STORMS WILL AFFECT HOW THE POTENTIAL OF ANY SEVERE STORMS ON SUNDAY WOULD BEHAVE. AND THEN IT JUST KEEPS CASCADING DOWN THE LINE HERE BECAUSE WE HAVE A DAILY CHANCE OF SCATTERED STORMS. SOME OF THEM CAN BE HEAVY, LOCALLY INTENSE WIND GUSTS OVER 60MPH POSSIBLE FROM ANY STORM. IN THE
