Yet another Thursday severe weather event forecast

The National Weather Service Storm Prediction Center has placed all of Central Alabama in a level one out of five risk category for severe storms Wednesday night and early Thursday morning.

No, it isn’t a scene from the 1993 romantic comedy film Groundhog Day — severe weather is forecast for the third Thursday in a row.

According to the Birmingham National Weather Service (NWS) office, storms that form early Thursday morning could become severe and produce damaging winds up to 60 mph, quarter size hail and a brief tornado.
