The NWS has cancelled the severe thunderstorm warning for Jefferson County.

Strong storms do continue however from just west of downtown to the Bessemer area.

Other strong storms are just west of the I-459 split south of Bessemer into Bibb County, where some very heavy rainfall amounts are falling across much of the west west of Brent.

Light to moderate rain extends behind the main line for about 60 miles, so you can expect 1-2 hours of rain once the storms pass your location.

Not much in the way of lightning or thunder with these low topped storms today. And fortunately, no reports of damage yet.

A tornado watch remains in effect until 8 p.m. CST.
