Storms continue across parts of Alabama late on this Friday evening…

In the Birmingham area…a persistent storm is moving south across the Leeds area. It is producing lots of lightning back to the Trussville area. It seems to be intensifying just west of Leeds along I-20. Activity over Southwest Jefferson into Bibb County is weakening.

Storms between Springville and Odenville have weakened considerably.

A new storm has formed near Ragland, moving toward Ohatchee.

Weakening storms are south of Piedmont moving into Cleburne County.

The best storms in the state are over Marshall County in the Tennessee Valley, moving southeast across the Guntersville area.

Storms over Winston County are moving toward Cullman County are not strengthening.

Storms over Pickens County from Reform to Ethelsville are producing a good bit of lightning.

If storms are in your area, go inside a substantial shelter to avoid the intense lightning. If driving, be alert for very heavy rainfall.
