Some parts of the state picked up heavy rainfall amounts on Friday. 1.58 inches fell at Anniston and 1.51 inches at Pinson. Just a short distance away, only a trace fell at the Birmingham Airport.
Some of the heaviest rainfall fell over Greene and Hale Counties in west Alabama, including the hometown of America’s Greatest WeatherMan, J.B. Elliott. 3.3 inches of rain fell at Havana Junction, including 3 inches in just 65 minutes between 3 and 4:05. J.B. picked up 1.32 inches at his place in Trussville. Only 0.43 inches on this side of Trussville.
Parts of northwestern Marion and western Franklin Counties may have picked up over two inches as well.
Things are calming down tonight across the state. Some heavy showers are just across the border from Northwest Alabama’s Marion and Lamar Counties at this hour, but it does not look like they will make it into the state.
