The National Weather Service says northeast Alabama could very likely experience a round of rainfall and from time-to-time, thunderstorms Monday and Tuesday.

The Storm Prediction Center has north and north/central Alabama in a marginal risk for severe weather Monday, which is a level 1 out of 5 – meaning that isolated severe storms will be possible, with those strongest storms possibly having damaging winds and small hail.  Heavy rain is a concern following widespread flooding, and saturated ground leading to a large number of downed trees during Tropical Storm Claudette, in northeast and parts of central Alabama, on Saturday.

The National Weather Service has issued a Flash Flood Watch for Cullman, Marshall, Jackson and DeKalb counties that will be in effect from 7:00pm Monday until 7:00pm Tuesday.

The storms could come in two rounds, according to the weather service with the first being the typical afternoon “pulse-type” storms which fire up quickly during the heat of the day.  The second round could come later tonight into Tuesday morning along a cold front.

More strong storms will be possible on Tuesday afternoon in southeast Alabama, and the Storm Prediction Center has that corner of the state in a marginal (Level 1) risk.

Again on Tuesday the biggest concern will be damaging winds and heavy rain.
