Rain continues to fall across about 80% of Alabama just before 4:30 a.m. The precipitation is being produced by a surface low over Northwest Alabama that is rippling along our persistent boundary.
The rainfall total at Birmingham through 3a.m. had jumped up to 1.81.
Radar shows light to moderate rain across much of the state. Moderate to heavy rain is over Northwest Alabama across parts of Winston, Lawrence, Morgan and Cullman Counties. Another batch is over western Shelby, southwest Jefferson and eastern Tuscaloosa Counties. There is a lot of heavier rain over southwestern Alabama around Greensboro, Linden and Butler.
The back edge of the rain now extends from Moulton to Fayette to Tuscaloosa. Rain will continue to end from the west this morning.
