Unfortunately, we can now count the storms across Central Alabama on two hands…here we go…

Powerful thunderstorms from eastern Calhoun through Cleburne County at this hour…generally along I-20. Very heavy rainfall from Edwardsville, AL down to Bowdon in Georgia. Lots of lightning too. Carrollton, Georgia will see lots of rain from this one. This is part of a larger aera of light to moderate rain that extends down into Clay, Randolph, Tallapoosa and Chambers Counties.

A decent heavy shower with some lightning in SW Jefferson County, in the Bessemer/Brighton/Lipscomb area. Headed east toward Bluff Park, Hoover and eventually Inverness on Highway 280.

A pair of storms north of Birmingham….one west of Dodge City in Cullman County, the other across the county line in Blount County near Hayden…both moving SE. The Blount storm seems to be slowly weakening. Both could brush the extreme part of NE Jefferson County…but more likely up in the Springville area…if they hold together.

Weakening storms south of Hamilton in Marion County.

Weakening storms in northern Pickens, southern Lamar Counties.

You can now see some of the drier air in the Tennessee Valley. Dew points have fallen to 66F at UAH in Hunstville, 68F in Decatur and 66F at Florence.
