That line of thunderstorms continues to move north and NE through Central Alabama.
At 5:30, the leading north edge of thunderstorms was from just south of Tuscaloosa, to just north of Centreville and to near Jemison and Rockford.
Now approaching Shelby County and South Talladega County. Several counties came under Severe Thuinderstorm Warnings earlier this afternoon. Several reports of small hail, largest I have seen was 1/2 inch in diameter.
The storms seem to have weakened just a bit but too early to write them off.
NWS/Birmingham issued a Significant Weather Alert for Bibb and Tuscaloosa County until 6 o’clock. This is short of a warning. They were tracking a strong thunderstorm 8 miles south of Tuscaloosa near McFarland Mall and moving NE at 25.
Still considerable lightning in these storms. That has not decreased much.
Based on radar estimates, parts of Extreme South Alabama has received about three inches of rain.
