…along Alabama 102 in NE Fayette County…
…just SE Of Fayette…
…north of Tusacaloosa…
…along the Black Warrior River…12 miles west of Pleasant Grove…
…a new little storm west of Helena in Northern Shelby County…ordered up especially for Dr. Peters…

Skywatcher Kristopher in Fayette reports 1.50 inches of rain in just about an hour…

The earlier storm that brought heavy rain to southern sections of the Birmingham Metro area is currently over southern St. Clair County between Moody and Pell City. It has weakened substantially into an area of moderate to occasionally heavy rain with a little bit of lightning along I-20.

Additional showers and storms will continue through the afternoon hours. An approaching disturbance tonight should produce additional showers overnight.

The morning GFS run keeps us wet tomorrow and Monday, then shifts the heavier rain to the Tennessee Valley Tuesday and Wednesday.
