The nice rain area over Northwest Alabama did not make it very far south as you slept last night.
Some nice rainfall amounts fell across southern Franklin and northern Marion County. Radar estimates indicate that more than three inches and maybe over five inches fell in some spots from Vina to Hackleburg. It will be interesting to see if any actual observations collaborate this.
The Greater Birmingham Anti-Rain Force Field (GBARFF) was on full power. Rainfall amounts in the Birmingham area were very light.
The radar is fairly quiet early this morning. Only a few light showers showing up on radar across Clay and Talladega Counties…some showers over Cullman, Blount and Marshall Counties….and some moderate showers over the Northwest corner of the state.
If is mostly cloudy and quite humid across the area this morning. Temperatures are in the lower to middle 70s and dewpoints are not lagging very far behind.
The stationary front is draped across the Tennessee Valley counties of the state this morning. Hopefully it will be a player in out weather today with an enahnced chance of showers and storms across our area as temperatures heat up during the day.
Be on the lookout for heavy downpours, frequent lightning and gusty winds if a stronger storm ventures into your area today.
