Mobile, Alabama. Local meteorologists reported lingering showers and weakening storms this morning, with mostly cloudy skies and scattered afternoon redevelopment possible across parts of Alabama and Kentucky. Forecasters said Sunday will be generally drier and warmer, with highs in the 70s to low 80s, before a cold front approaches late Monday into Tuesday. Birmingham and Lexington-area forecasts warned that the warm, humid air returning Monday and gusty southerly winds could fuel a cluster of strong to severe storms Monday night into Tuesday, bringing risks of damaging wind gusts, hail, and isolated tornadoes. Authorities advised residents and event organizers to monitor app alerts and official updates through Monday and Tuesday.
