Some rather strong storms have fired up this afternoon in scattered pockets across the state… some of the heavier storms are moving through Hoover/Pelham/Helena/Alabaster in Shelby County, and over parts of Talladega and Clay Counties between the city of Talladega and Mellow Valley. These storms are moving to the west/northwest, around the broad tropical low that is near the Louisiana coast.
The heavier storms are producing heavy rain and gusty winds; they will all die off once the sun goes down later this evening…
