Much as we expected, storms are getting an early start across Alabama this morning.
An active zone of convection was firing quickly over Hales, Tuscaloosa and into Walker County.
The heaviest cells were from Oakman to Berry then south along SR 69 top just east of Samantha. There was a strong cell east of Akron in Hale County.
Another was over Limestone and Morgan counties of North Alabama.
To the east, storms were quickly growing over Randolph County near the Georgia border.
Another busy storm was over Aberdeen MS, about to cross eastward into Lamar County, Alabama. it will pass north of Vernon. This is one of the stronger storms also.
The storms were growing quickly in intensity and coverage.
Movement is generally northeast at about 20-25 mph.
It will be an active day across Alabama with numerous showers and storms expected. The airmass is warm and moist, with lots of precipitable water. one to two inch amounts will be common with three amounts possible. Some of the storms will become severe from time to time with damaging winds and perhaps some hail.
