A outbreak of heavy storms will be possible, probably on Saturday afternoon and at night.

Prognostics had thought or even hoped that rain and storms could linger on Saturday morning, which contributed to alleviating the severe threat to the afternoon hours.

Forecast models, however, indicate that this may not happen and that the atmosphere via Alabama will be in almost perfect condition for severe storms by Saturday afternoon.

A cold front approaches from the west, and a storms of storms could develop before or along the storms.
