AWN Thursday 5/7/26 Morning Statewide Forecast Update from James Spann

South Alabama starts the day with a vivid show of lightning and very efficient heavy-rain storms, while the rest of the state trends quieter as the morning goes on.

Severe weather isn’t the main story for most communities today, but the far southeast corner still has a Level 2/5 risk this morning for gusty winds and an isolated brief tornado. The bigger concern is flooding where storms train over the same areas, especially across the southern counties.

After storms exit around midday, the pattern turns mostly dry for much of the state this afternoon and again for most of Friday. A wave along the front brings another increase in showers late Friday into Friday night, and the weekend keeps periodic rain chances around — with the better coverage likely over south Alabama.

Rainfall adds up over the next several days, with higher totals possible in south Alabama and lighter amounts north.
