A row of thunderstorms extends from the NE edge of Jefferson County NE of Trussville and near Springville in St. Clair County eastward across Central St. Clair County, mostly north of I-20.
Further east the line of storms sags southward right along the Talladega/Calhoun County line and into Randolph County. The strongest thunderstorms were the ones along the Talladega/Calhoun County line. Significant lightning was reported by the ABC 33/40 Skywatcher at Coldwater with a tropical downpour underway. Visibility was only about 150 yards.
Further north scattered thunderstorms reached all the way across North Alabama, roughly from Russellville to Ft. Payne. Some of the stronger ones were over Lawrence and Morgan Counties.
Significant Weather Alerts were posted for these areas:
….DeKalb County
….North Lawrence County
….West Morgan County
….Lauderdale County
….Randolph County
These Significant Weather Alerts are short of a formal warning, but in those you can easily have gusts over 40, small hail, downpours of rain and vicious lightning.
In the immediate Birmingham area, the nearest thunderstorm were the ones mentioned above in the first paragraph. It is raining heavily over the extreme NE edge of Jefferson County NE of Pinson and near Palmerdale and just north of I-59 as it crosses into St. Clair County.
