This evening’s storms put down some very impressive rainfall totals and some incredible lightning around Central Alabama. We are just left with a few isolated showers from Pickens, Greene, and Hale Counties into Bibb, Perry, and Chilton. A few sprinkles are still ongoing in Cherokee, Etowah, and Cleburne Counties.
Here are some of the rainfall totals collected today:
Springville – 0.08″
Bessemer – 2.15″
Weaver (Michelle Miklik) – 0.13″
Weaver (Mike Calloway) – 0.22″
Hueytown- 0.89″
Pleasant Grove – 0.94″
Near Collinsville – 0.05″
Coker – 0.20″
Shelby County Airport – 2.83″
Coaling – 0.92″
Taylorville – 3.20″
Helena – 2.12″
Broomtown – 0.43″
Moundville – 0.05″
Fayette – 0.31″
Muscadine – 0.22″
Cottondale – 0.82″
Argo – 0.13″
Odenville – 1.00″
We expect fewer storms and a rebound to much hotter weather again this weekend and into next week, but there is hope ahead! Tropical moisture could help knock temperatures down a little (to near normal), and it could also bring several days of numerous thunderstorms to Alabama starting Wednesday evening lasting through Friday or Saturday.
James is back on the night shift and the normal internet shift starting Monday. Have a great weekend!
