The storms in West Alabama are barely into Tuscaloosa County…but the NWS is taking a very proactive stance an going ahead with a flash flood warning for the county…as well as Fayette, Greene and Pickens Counties.

Extremely heavy rain still covers much of the southern half of Pickens County. Radar estimates indicate that as much as 3-4 inches of rain fell in one hour from Pickensville toward Carrollton.

Tops are near 50k feet. The NWS reported there were 151 lightning strikes in the Pickens County storm a little earlier.
