A large area of rain continues across Southeast Alabama this afternoon.
North and Central Alabama are generally free of rain at this hour. The exceptions are some light showers from Calhoun and Cleburne Counties up to Jackson County, near the Georgia border.
There is a small area of moderate showers entering West Alabama’s Pickens County.
The cold front is back over Central Mississippi. An approaching upper level disturbance could help to fire additional showers and storms along and ahead of the front, but they aren’t expected to be very heavy. There could be some gusty winds and brief heavy rain near the isolated storms.
A few active storms are on radar to the northwest, over western Tennessee, just ahead of the cold front.
Rain will end from west to east overnight and skies should clear tomorrow morning.
