Storms continue across North and Central Alabama tonight.

Storms have moved east of the Birmingham metro area after bringing some nice rainfall and heavy lightning to eastern sections of the city.

Those cells are now in St. Clair County.

Stronger cells are to the north.

Storms in the Arley area of Winston County (around Smith Lake) are quite strong. This storm is quite organized and it is moving into southern Cullman County. It will pass near Dodge City and The Colony.

To the east of that…strong storms are over Blount County…they extend from north of Nectar to Blountsville to west of Clarence, Snead and Douglas. These strong storms will be affecting Etowah and northern St. Clair County over the next hour.

No severe thunderstorm warnings at this time. There is a flash flood warning in the Tennessee Valley for Lawrence, Limestone and Morgan Counties. A couple of other small flash flood warnings are in effect in Southwest Alabama.

Up in Northeast Mississippi…strong storms are over Prentiss and Itawamba Counties.

Everything is moving generally east tonight.
