WAFF 48 News Weather with Brad Travis and Jeff Castle - WAFF-TV: News, Weather and Sports for Huntsville, AL

Isolated showers and thunderstorms will have the potential for hail and gusty winds over NW Alabama early this evening.  Shower and thunderstorm activity will likely pick up later tonight.  Some thunderstorms will also be possible overnight tonight and early Wednesday.

The overall threat for severe weather is on the low side but some storms could produce wind gusts up to 50mph and dime sized hail.  The environment to our north and west is more favorable for rotating thunderstorms but we will keep an eye on any potential tornado threat.

Temperatures will drop into the upper 60s for lows tonight with highs in the lower 80s Wednesday.  Expect a few rounds of showers and thunderstorms Wednesday.  Storms Wednesday afternoon will have gusty winds and some hail along with very heavy rain and lightning.  A few more storms will be possible on Thursday. 

Improving weather will move in Friday and we will see dry weather over the weekend with highs around 80. 

Have a safe night.
