Significant severe storms are likely for the area on Saturday, according to the National Weather Service.

According to the NWS, tonight, isolated to scattered thunderstorms are possible.

“We aren’t confident that these storms will be strong enough to produce severe thunderstorms, but the environment will support severe thunderstorms if there is enough forcing/lift for storms to grow,” NWS of Mobile officials said on their Facebook page. “Damaging wind gusts and hail are our primary threats. Tornadoes cannot be ruled out.”

Then, on Saturday, NWS officials said they expect storms to develop by early afternoon, increasing in coverage ahead of a line of storms.

“Strong, long-track tornadoes, damaging straight-line winds and large hail are all possible with these storms,” officials said. “The severe threat will exit the area early Sunday morning as a line of storms moves through.”
