Alabama Super Tuesday Weather: When Rain Will Stop

BIRMINGHAM, AL — Most Birmingham residents likely were not surprised to wake up Tuesday morning to rain. February was one of the wettest months in Alabama history, and Monday was full of thunderstorms. But how will that affect voting on Super Tuesday?

A tornado watch is in effect until 11 a.m. for parts of central Alabama, according to meteorologist James Spann. The threat for damaging gusts and a couple of tornadoes will increase some as it warms and moistens at the surface through the morning.

Spann said the watch runs in a broad zone from Demopolis to Selma to Montgomery to Opelika; it does not include Tuscaloosa, Birmingham, Anniston or Gadsden.

Rain will come and go throughout the day in the Birmingham metro, accordign to recent reports from the Weather Channel.
