As we continue to monitor weather conditions, we do have some good news to share. The National Weather Service in Birmingham has removed the severe weather threat for Saturday afternoon and evening. This is a change that football fans across the state will gladly celebrate.

While conditions look much more favorable, there is still a very low chance of isolated showers on Saturday. If you are headed to a football game, be sure to check conditions before you head to the stadium.
