Weather advisories

The National Weather Service has issued a wind advisory for North Alabama, in effect until four o'clock this afternoon. Sustained winds speeds of 20 to 30 miles an hour with gusts of 35 to 40 miles an hour are likely. These strong winds will make driving difficult, especially for high-profile vehicles traveling over higher elevations. These winds will also blow around any unsecured outdoor objects and blow down loose tree limbs.

The weather service also advises that severe thunderstorms are expected during the late afternoon and evening hours, as a strong cold front approches the area from the west. Threats include damaging winds, large hail and tornadoes.
