We’ll have plenty of rain with a few thunderstorms possible Saturday. A few of the storms, especially in the southern part of the state, could be strong to severe.

Although the severe threat level is only a 1 out of 5, the area at risk now includes the entire southern portion of the state south of a line from just south of Selma to Montgomery. It includes Troy, Eufaula, and the entire Gulf Coast.

Our main threat will be strong to severe storms with heavy rain. We could also have some damaging wind gusts and hail. A tornado can’t be ruled out.

The severe threat should end up 5 p.m.
