…Widely scattered showers and storms across Alabama this afternoon…

Over Northwest Alabama, a trio of small storms is over Marion, NW Winston and Franklin Counties…the strongest is between Hackleburg and Bear Creek. Starting to show a good bit of lightning here. The storm east of Vina in Franklin County is picking up also.

A rash of small, isolated storms extends over Lamar, Fayette, Walker, Tuscaloosa, Pickens, Hale and Perry Counties. The heaviest storms are along the Hale/Perry County line northeast of Greensboro, extending up to US-82 southeast of Tuscaloosa. One shower is moving into SW Jefferson County west of North Johns. Nothing threatening downtown.

A shower has developed east of Kimberly and Morris in northern Jefferson County. It could develop further.

All movement is slowly to the north.
