Montgomery is part of Alabama
Every Alabama region shares one system — the same maps, the same live radar, the same climate record. The River Region sits where the Piedmont gives out and the Black Belt prairie begins, and the soil change shows up in the weather — the flat, dark, poorly drained ground floods fast, and the same nighttime supercells that cross Birmingham arrive here with nothing to slow them down. Hurricane remnants still reach this far inland with a full day of rain.
