Showers have actually been increasing across North-Central Alabama during the last hour; rain is falling in downtown Birmingham, and across much of Walker and Fayette counties. There is also a nice cluster of showers north of Lineville, in Clay County. Our SKYCAM in downtown Birmingham has measured 0.07″.
This sure seems to be a sign that the air aloft is indeed cooler, which hopefully will open the door for a few more showers and thunderstorms tomorrow afternoon. But, the weather will remain hot.
