James Spann, ABC 33/40, and Townsquare Media Tuscaloosa Chief Meteorologist have given us more insight about the potential for Friday in that the “storms that move through will be capable of producing large hail and strong, potentially damaging wind. A brief isolated tornado or two can't be ruled out, but that is not the primary threat. We could very well have two rounds of storms, one during the early morning hours, and another with the cold front during the afternoon... it won't rain all day, but just understand that when thunderstorms do pass through they could be strong to severe. Rain amounts of around 1/2 inch are likely, and the high will be around 80 degrees.”
