Scattered thunderstorms were increasing in number at midafternoon, mainly across Central and South Alabama. They seem to be moving slowly toward the NW, which will give them time to present some good rain amounts. Some of the stronger thunderstorms were located in these areas:
…Over SE Shelby County and SW Talladega County
…Over extreme North Hale County and the north part of Greene County
…Over North Sumter County
These stronger storms could produce winds up to 50 mph along with dangerous lightning and very heavy rain. NWS/Birmingham has issued a Significant Weather Alert for several of those storms because of that.
