Widespread rain is the story very early on this Tuesday morning. Just before daybreak it was raining all the way from East Texas and Arkansas to West Georgia.

There was almost 100 percent coverage across Mississippi and most of Alabama. The heaviest rain was over Southeast Louisiana and just offshore from the Mississippi-Alabama-Northwest Florida Coast.

Movement generally toward the northeast.

Here in Alabama, widespread showers today, decreasing at some point tonight. Back to one of our dry days on Wednesday. Our changeable autumn continues.
