Here is the latest…
Storms over Central Alabama have sent a beautiful outflow boundary southward. The boundary extends in an 80 mile arc from Tallapoosa through northern Elmore County into Autauga County into NE Perry County. The boundary is moving south at about 15 mph.
It will likley trigger additional strong storms to its south.
Still, storms are formidable over SE Talladega, Coosa and Tallapoosa Counties in places like Sylacauga, New Site, Alexander City and south of Rockford. They have lots of lightning, torrential rains and gusty winds that can cause minor damage.
There are some stroms over Northwest Alabama, mainly west of Tuscumbia and between Trinity and Hillsboro.
Elsewhere across Central Alabama, storms over Tuscaloosa County are quite interesting. They are fairly numerous in two concentrations. One north of the city of Tuscaloosa between Moores Bridge and Samanatha. They are backbuilding into southern Walker County. This activity will push east or east southeast, affecting western Jefferson County. The airmass over western Jefferson County is rain cooled, and this may cause the storms to weaken. But the sun is out over parts of Jefferson County now, and this could reverse that trend.
Others have intensified SE of the city of Tuscaloosa and will be moving toward Bibb County, mainly north of the Centreville/Brent metro area…
If you are getting missed by the showers today…take heart…it looks like rain chances will remain above normal into the first half of the week. Our rain chances will be good through Wednesday most likely before a more typical summertime pattern sets in. And the heat returns.
A severe thunderstorm warning is in effect for the Causeway section of northern Mobile and Baldwin Counties in South Alabama. Severe storms are over the northern part of Mobile Bay.
