Alabama local weather forecast for ice storm, severe risk on Sunday

Forecasters have placed much of the region under a level 1 to 2 out of 5 severe storm risk, mainly along and south of the U.S. 80 and I-85 corridors, where damaging wind gusts and a brief tornado are possible between late morning and early afternoon. 

Gusty winds could reach 40 mph even outside of storms, raising the risk of downed trees and scattered power outages. Once the storm moves out, colder air rushes in, sending temperatures sharply downward into the 20s overnight.

Mobile weather forecast

Showers and thunderstorms are expected across south Alabama Sunday, with heavy rain and gusty winds developing as temperatures slide into the mid-50s by late afternoon. The region is under a slight risk for severe storms (1 out of 5), with damaging winds the primary threat, though a brief tornado cannot be ruled out as storms move through.
