All the biggies had pushed down into South Alabama late this afternoon. Biggies means the worst, meanest, ugliest thunderstorms.

It was raining by the buckets in areas south of Montgomery and especially south of Monroeville.

The storms were moving east, maybe a little more ESE.

Virtually no showers over the north half of the state.

But painfully, we twist our neck around and face NW and we see three Severe Thunderstorm Watches in Missouri, Arkansas and Oklahoma and another family of thunderstorms advancing eastward. Based on recent weather patterns, those thunderstorms will make a gradual turn to the right to head toward one of their favorite states. That means us!!

Hours away however but thunderstorms will become numerous again tomorrow here in Alabama.

A few rain amounts so far today:

0.70 Tuscaloosa Skycam
1.39 Inverness Skycam
1.60 Concord/Hueytown
1.23 Hoover/Rocky Ridge
1.48 Samantha
2.60 Muscle Shoals

We will post more amounts later
