Showers and thunderstorsm are fairly numerous over East Central Alabama this afternoon.

Most of the storms extend from the Montgomery area northeastward through Coosa, Tallapoosa, Randolph and Chambers Counties.

The strongest cells were near Rockford, Alexander City and Goodwater.

Another strong storm was in Marshall County west of Guintersville.

A developing storm was just north of the Birmingham Airport. Others were along I-20 between Birmingham and Anniston.

The main thing this afternoon is to be on the lookouot for lightning.
