Northern Alabama will get a little break from the rain Friday, but the rest of the state will continue dealing with several waves of heavy rain. Rain will return to northern Alabama Friday night.

Although Friday will feature plenty of chances for rain for some of us, the chance for severe weather comes to a large portion of the state Saturday.

According to the National Weather Service, there are two risk levels. A Level 2 risk covers a swatch through the state and includes Anniston, Clanton, Alexander City, Auburn, Selma, Montgomery, Troy, Camden, Burnt Corn, Andalusia, and Greenville.

In the Level 2 zone, the greatest risks are brief tornadoes and damaging winds.

A Level 1 covers both sides of the Level 2 and stretches from Jasper to Foley. The threats are the same without as much confidence.

The risk for severe weather is late Saturday morning into the afternoon.

“Several rounds of rainfall are expected to impact the region through Saturday,” a statement from the NWS reads. “There could be large differences in rainfall totals across short distances. There is a limited risk of flooding, primarily in urban and low-lying areas, as well as areas that are saturated from recent rainfall. Never attempt to cross flooded roads.”
