A First Alert Weather Day is in effect today for our potential to see strong to severe thunderstorms. That potential will increase around 5pm in southern Siouxland as a line of storms approaches from the south. The line could contain damaging wind gusts and hail. An isolated tornado cannot be ruled out.

Meteorologist Devon Lucie compares the differences in timing between forecasts for storms on Saturday then shows who's at the greatest risk for severe storms and strong tornadoes walking you through your parish-by-parish forecast showing the exact timing of storms where you are,

A significant episode of severe weather is likely across the southern Plains. These storms will spread into far west and northwest Alabama late Friday night, but we expect *most* of those storms to stay just northwest of the WSFA area.
