A cold front will move toward Alabama on Friday, and it will tap into the warm and humid air across Alabama. A line of strong to possibly severe storms will move across the state during the afternoon and evening. The severe threat is low, but it will be something to watch over the next few days. There is some uncertainty this far out with how strong the storms could be since it will be an overnight event. Check back for changes and updates all week.
