A few strong storms will be possible this evening in Alabama, but a tornado watch has been dropped early for the state.
As of 5 p.m. Tuesday a line of storms continued to move through Alabama. Some were on the strong side but none was severe.
The National Weather Service and Storm Prediction Center decided to drop the watch for Alabama just after 5 p.m., when it was supposed to last until 7 p.m.
Not only could there be thunderstorms, but it will also be windy -- both near and away from storms.
That means that any outdoor decorations may need to take the day off and stay inside.
NOAA’s Storm Prediction Center is maintaining a Level 2 out of 5 risk for severe weather for a large part of Alabama today.

A Level 2 risk (or slight) means that scattered severe thunderstorms will be possible.
The rest of Alabama has a Level 1 or marginal risk, which means isolated severe storms will be possible.
Parts of Alabama will have slight and marginal risks for severe weather on Tuesday.
The strongest storms could have wind gusts up to 60 mph, and there will be a risk for a brief tornado.
It will also be windy today. Non-storm wind gusts could be as high as 40 mph, the weather service said, and wind advisories have been issued for parts of Alabama:
NORTH ALABAMA
* Wind advisory from 9 a.m. until 7 p.m. Tuesday for Lauderdale, Colbert, Franklin, Lawrence, Limestone, Madison, Morgan, Marshall, Jackson, DeKalb and Cullman counties.
