Heavy rainfall continues; flood watch for Northeast Alabama

(NWS Huntsville)

HUNTSVILLE — If it’s not one thing, it’s another.

The National Weather Service Huntsville office has issued a pair of dueling threats for today.

  1. A flooding threat continues with a flood watch for Northeast Alabama through early Thursday.
2. A low risk of strong to severe storms is possible mainly south of the Tennessee River this evening as the cold front moves through.

To prepare for the flooding threat and the possibility for some strong to severe storms make sure to have multiple ways to receive warnings and to check back for updates regarding the latest forecast trends.

The office is monitoring the severe threat for tonight while heavy rainfall and some thunderstorms are forecast through the day as a front moves through the area.

Meanwhile, there may be a third threat in the forecast Friday – from the “When it rains, it pours, then it freezes” chapter. Subfreezing temperatures (mid-20s) Friday morning will create a risk of black ice in areas where water lingers on roadways.

The high temperatures today will be in the low to mid-50s with overnight lows near freezing. The highs for Thursday will range from 47 to 56 degrees and the temperatures will drop into the mid- to upper 20s into Friday morning.
