A frontal system over northern Alabama will bring more storms and heavy rainfall Thursday. Although the chance of severe weather isn’t as high as the past day or two, there could still be some strong to severe storms with hail and damaging winds.

In the southern part of the state, we’ll have plenty of sunshine, humidity, and hot temps. Heat index values will reach up to 115 degrees in places. There is a Level 1 risk for most of the state for potentially severe storms from any isolated storms that do develop.

The tropics are still quiet for now. There is no chance for development over the next 48 hours.
