FIRST ALERT: Rain, storms linger through early Monday

MONTGOMERY, Ala. (WSFA) - Sunday was a very busy weather day across Alabama. Numerous reports of wind damage and flooding came in from all across the area, and there was damage from a possible tornado in Prattville. Lingering showers and thunderstorms continue at this early hour. While the overall risk of severe weather has decreased since earlier, there’s still a small risk of some damaging wind, hail and/or a brief tornado or two through mid-morning.

Leftover pockets of rain and rumbles will continue into Monday night and Tuesday, but the risk of severe weather slowly diminishes.

The rain will sweep out of the state late Tuesday and slightly cooler air will push into the state. Overall, the weather looks perfect for the second half of the work week, but it will be a touch cool at times (mornings and evenings) Tuesday through Thursday. Nighttime temperatures will drop into the 40s with afternoon highs in the upper 60s to mid 70s.

Warmer air surges back into the state by Friday and the weekend. Scattered rain and thunderstorms are also possible by Friday night and into Saturday - some risk of severe weather could develop with that system, depending on how it all unfolds. We’ll keep you posted.
