BIRMINGHAM, Ala. (WIAT) — Wednesday: High pressure to our east today keeps us mostly dry and warm, but the pressure gradient it creates with lower pressure to our northwest will make it quite a windy day. Expect gusts in the 30-40 mph range this afternoon. Over Northwest Alabama, the high pressure may break down just enough to allow for a couple of isolated showers or storms. SPC has highlighted this area as a Level 1/5 Marginal Risk for severe weather. This is a conditional threat.
