Some outdoor events could be cancelled or postponed this weekend (see below), as severe weather could make its way to the Huntsville area Saturday.
Here’s what to know:
Severe weather in the Rocket City
A strong storm system could bring heavy storms in multiple rounds from late Friday night through mid-morning Saturday, late Saturday morning/afternoon and Saturday evening/night. All modes of severe weather are possible, including tornadoes.
