A cold front is pushing a line of thunderstorms eastward across the lower Mississippi valley Saturday evening, and it appears we’ll be seeing that weather system move into Alabama’s western counties soon after midnight.  Our main concern is with the pressure-gradient winds which could gust above 30 mph and topple some trees now standing loosely in the saturated soil.  A wind advisory covers all of central Alabama till 6 on Sunday morning.

Temperatures overnight may actually rise a few degrees, thanks to the strong surface flow from the south and southeast.  The advancing cold front should maintain scattered showers and thunderstorms from Sunday morning through early afternoon…then a colder and drier air mass will move in for the start of the workweek.
