A line of storms is forecast to develop late morning into the midday hours. This line will then track east through the area, with embedded strong to severe storms possible. The line of storms will exit NE Alabama by 8-9 p.m. Tuesday. On Tuesday, the boundary will push north as a warm front supporting the chance for isolated strong to severe storms. As the front tracks north, the area will be positioned in the warm sector of the system; the area in between the warm and cold front. With the Tennessee Valley placed in the warm sector, conditions will be favorable for strong storms to develop. The rain chance will then continue on Wednesday as the accompanying cold front tracks through the area. The Storm Prediction Center currently has a portion of the area highlighted under a 'Marginal Risk' (level 1 out of 5) for strong to severe storm development both Monday and Tuesday. Storms that can develop on Monday and Tuesday will be capable of producing strong winds over 60 mph, large hail (quarter-size or larger), frequent lightning, and locally heavy rain. With the recent rain the area has seen, we will be monitoring the possibility of localized flooding of low-lying areas and small creeks, rivers, and streams.

Impact Day issued ahead of Sunday's severe weather threat
HUNTSVILLE, Ala. (WHNT) — If you have outdoor plans this Memorial Day Weekend, make sure you are staying weather-aware as storms will be possible during the afternoon and evening hours. The Weather Authority has issued an Impact Day for Sunday from 12 pm until 7 pm due to the threat of strong to severe storms. This storm threat will be associated with a mesoscale convective system, or MCS, that will track southeast into the area from Arkansas. The Storm Prediction Center has highlighted the area under a 'Slight Risk' (level 2 out of 5) for the development of strong to severe storms. Following lingering showers and isolated storms Saturday night, the area looks to turn dry early Sunday morning. IF we see a lack of rain activity Sunday morning, it will increase the energy for afternoon storms during the afternoon. LOOKING FOR THE EXTENDED FORECAST? Click here to learn how to download the Live Alert 19 app The MCS will begin to enter NW Alabama by midday and then push southeast through the Tennessee Valley. Embedded in the cluster of storms, there will be a chance for isolated strong to severe storms. That storm threat will continue through the early evening hours. The MCS will form in Arkansas and then move into the Tennessee Valley. An MCS is a complex of storms on a larger scale that can travel for miles. The formation can be linear or round. The system that will move through the area Sunday will be round in formation as it tracks into NW Alabama before breaking down into a line segment. Storms that can develop on Sunday will be able to produce damaging winds over 50 mph, large hail, frequent lightning, and heavy rainfall. With high values of wind shear, or rotation of the winds, there will be a low-end risk of tornadoes, especially in NW Alabama. If you have outdoor plans, you must have multiple ways to receive weather alerts and be weather-aware. Stick with The Weather Authority for the latest on Sunday's storm threat.

‘It's a miracle': Madison couple recalls when tree narrowly falls on them during storm
MADISON, Ala. (WHNT) — Tuesday, May 20, was a stressful and scary night for many across the Tennessee Valley. The Weather Authority confirmed at least two tornadoes touched down in the region, with the National Weather Service still surveying areas that were damaged. It's a night that one couple on Glenmore Drive in Madison won't forget. Bill and Diane Nicholson said they feel lucky to have made it through the storm without a scratch. 'It's a miracle,' Bill said. Man accused of cashing forged check at Decatur business 'Very thankful and just the outpouring from friends and families been awesome,' Diane said. The couple said that when the storm struck, they were watching TV in their living room. 'We had been sitting on the couch,' Diane said. 'I mean like inches away from where the ceiling collapsed later on,' Bill added. Diane said they got lucky that the tree stopped short of the living room. 📲 to stay updated on the go. 📧 to have news sent to your inbox. 'Had it penetrated the living room ceiling, it would have been right on top of us,' she said. She said that at first they didn't quite realize what had happened. 'It was just this uproarious, boom, you know, that came through the house,' Diane said. 'I thought maybe lightning had hit.' However, it wasn't lightning. It was an 80 foot tall Red Oak tree that fell on their house. It split part of it in two. The guest room took the majority of the hit from the tree. Bill said the entire room was gone when they opened the door to the guest room. 'It's like all the joists were collapsed and all the insulation in the attic was all over the place,' he said. Bill told News 19 that he doesn't think they took a direct hit from the confirmed Madison tornado. However, he believes they were struck by an outer band of the tornado-warned storm. He said the tree fell on their house around 6:30 p.m. on Tuesday. The couple left their home for the night shortly after. 'We were in a state of shock, absolutely,' said Diane. '[We] just didn't know what to do first.' When the couple returned to their home Wednesday morning, they discovered that other parts of the ceiling had collapsed. The couple spent Wednesday packing their belongings. They told News 19 that in addition to the tree damage, there was a lot of water damage. The Nicholsons said repairs could take six months to a year. 'It was like a freak stroke of bad luck,' Diane said. 'But I don't know, goodwill, come out of it.' Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc.
