The NWS Mobile issued a tornado warning for Clarke and Choctaw Counties for a thunderstorm that saw SE of Butler. It goes until 130 p.m. It was radar indicated but there was also some type of pilot report substantiating it.
That same storm is now entering Marengo County. The NWS Birmingham is contemplating a tornado warning for Marengo County. This storm will pass near Sweet Water and Dixons Mills.
There is a thunderstorm with heavy rain in Greene County extending from near Eutaw to Forkland. It is moving NE toward Hale County in the Moundville and Akron areas.
Moderate rain extends over much of the western half of Alabama south of Marion, Winston and Cullman Counties and west of I-65.
Light rain covers eastern Alabama, except for some moderate to heavy rain over southern Clay and northern Tallapoosa Counties.
The activity has certainly increased in coverage and overall intensity during the past hour. It is generally moving east at about 15 mph. Most areas will get about four hours of moderate rain this afternoon.
I will post some rainfall amounts shortly…
