Jefferson County is now under a Tropical Storm Warning, with the strongest winds expected later tonight into early Saturday morning. Winds of 30–40 mph are possible, with some gusts reaching 50–60+ mph, creating the potential for downed trees, power lines, and power outages.

A Flood Watch is in effect from 7:00 PM tonight through 7:00 AM Sunday. Heavy rainfall may lead to localized flooding, particularly in low-lying and poor-drainage areas, along creeks and streams, and on roadways.

Another positive change is that Jefferson County has been removed from the Marginal Risk for severe weather on Saturday, lowering the tornado concern for our area.

Our Tornado shelter, located behind the coty park on Park Ave., is open.

Hurricane Isaias is now a Category 1 hurricane and continues moving toward the northern Gulf Coast, with landfall expected Friday evening. For Central Alabama, impacts are expected primarily Friday night through Saturday. The National Weather Service continues to identify heavy rain and gusty winds as the main concerns, with an additional low-confidence tornado threat east of the storm’s track.

For Jefferson County, here is what we are watching:
💨 Wind: Gusts could reach 40–50 mph late Friday night through Saturday, which could result in scattered to numerous downed trees, power lines, and power outages.
🌧️ Rain & Flooding: 2–4 inches of rain are expected across Central Alabama, with locally higher amounts up to 5 inches. Flash flooding will be possible, particularly in urban, low-lying, and poor-drainage areas.
🌪️ Tornadoes: A risk for isolated tornadoes may develop Saturday across portions of Central Alabama, particularly along and east of Interstate 65. Confidence in the tornado threat remains low to medium currently.

Now is the time to finish your preparations. Be ready for the possibility of power outages, secure outdoor items, make sure you have multiple ways to receive weather alerts, and never drive through flooded roadways.

Continue to get your weather information from official and reliable sources. Jefferson County EMA will continue monitoring Hurricane Isaias and will provide updates as additional information becomes available.
