Rain and storms continue over much of Central Alabama at this hour. The most extensive rain is generally along and south of a line roughly along US-78 in West Alabama and US-280 in East Alabama.
Some moderate rain was over Blount, Cullman and Calhoun Counties.
Some moderate storms were over Jefferson County, particularly from Graysville down to west of Bessemer.
Moderate to heavy rain and storms were over Fayette and northern Tuscaloosa Counties. This activity will build southeastward.
Heavy storms near Tupelo will move southeastward into Marion, Lamar and Fayette Counties in the next hour.
Heavy storms in Noxubee County Mississippi will move toward Green, southern Pickens and Sumter Counties.
As heating continues through the day, the chance for severe weather will still be with us. For now, nothing is approaching severe limits. It will be interesting to see what SPC does on thir 1630z (11:30 a.m. CDT) day one outlook.
We will increasingly have to be concerned about a flash flood threat if the persistent rainfall continues over the same areas. Be alert for heavy rains this afternoon and quick flooding of low lying areas or small streams. Remember, turn around, don’t drown.
