⚡ Haily's Briefing

Alabama has no active hail or wind alerts right now, and there are no notable local events to flag. The SPC mesoscale discussions are focused well north of AL, with severe storms from the central Plains into Minnesota and the Dakotas producing hail around 1 to 2.5 inches, wind gusts near 55 to 70 mph, and a couple of tornadoes in those corridors, but no Alabama-specific severe threat is mentioned.

Ranked by SPC verified storm reports (wind, hail, tornado) across all 50 states over the last 12 months. Severity-weighted index scores each report by hazard (tornado ×20, hail ×4, wind ×1) so a single derecho's flood of wind reports doesn't outweigh tornado outbreaks. Recalculated daily as of Sep 11, 2026.

Proudly AI-powered. Honestly sourced. IDOLCheck is built by HailyAI. Every storm event, magnitude, radar snapshot, and date on this page is deterministic — retrieved directly from official NOAA, National Weather Service (NWS), and Storm Prediction Center (SPC) storm records through our HailyDB engine and displayed exactly as reported. Quoted warning and report text is always attributed to its official source. Where the surrounding copy is not a direct quote, it was generated with AI assistance from that same verified storm data and reviewed and approved by humans before publication. AI organizes and presents the record — it never invents storm data.
