DOTHAN, Ala. (WDNews) — Residents across the Wiregrass should keep a close eye on the weather this Saturday as conditions may turn severe later in the day.
Forecasters say storms are expected to move into the area late Saturday morning and continue through Saturday evening. The main threats include gusty winds within thunderstorms and hail ranging from about half an inch to one inch in diameter.

Officials encourage residents to stay weather-aware, especially those with outdoor plans. Having multiple ways to receive weather alerts and knowing where to seek shelter if warnings are issued is advised.
