Alabama Braces for Stormy Saturday

Alabama is in for a wild weather ride this weekend. A cold front is on its way, and it's bringing some stormy surprises. The National Weather Service says that Saturday is the day to watch out for. The strongest storms are expected to hit east of Interstate 65, starting early in the morning and lasting through the afternoon. These aren't just any storms. They could pack a punch with damaging winds, hail, and heavy rain. The good news is that the risk is low. NOAA's Storm Prediction Center has given the area a Level 1 out of 5 risk. That means it's a marginal risk, but still something to keep an eye on.Cities like Mobile, Montgomery, Auburn, Troy, and Dothan are in the potential path of these storms. The front is already making its presence felt today, with rain chances increasing throughout the day. There might even be a few storms, but nothing severe is expected today. Once the front moves through on Saturday, things should calm down. The weather is expected to dry up and warm up into the middle of next week. So, while Saturday might be a bit rough, there's a silver lining on the horizon.
