The NWS/SPC (Storm Prediction Center) has placed the northwest part of Alabama under a slight risk for severe thunderstorms later today and tonight. The slight risk area extends as far south as approxmately Gadsden, Birmingham and Tuscaloosa.
Not many showers for Alabama early this afternoon. A few along the Cullman/Blount County line. A few southeast of Huntsville and north of Guntersville. One small shower SW Lamar County. A few isolated light showers over North St. Clair and Etowah County.
WHERE IS THE MAIN ACTION?
By far, the more numerous showers and thunderstorms were from Nashville north to Louisville and also across Southeast Missouri and Northeast Arkansas.
WHERE IS THE COLD FRONT?
1 o’clock temperatures were in the mild 70s in places like Nashville, Birmingham, Memphis, Little Rock. It was pushing 80 over South Mississippi and Louisiana. But it was only 55 in Fayetteville, Ark., and 52 in Kansas City. So the cold front was pushing toward Little Rock and into West Kentucky.
