The band of rain continues over North, Northeast and East Central Alabama at this hour. Some drier air aloft on the western periphery of this band has allowed enough heating to destabilize the atmosphere and some heavier showers with a little thunder have developed over western Jefferson County and moved into Walker County.

More heavy showers were developing over Clay county. They will move into Talladega and St. Clair Counties in a bit.

Temperatures were in the 80s in the areas that didn’t see rain this morning, 70s in the rain areas. 2.30 inches of rain in Springville at Brenda Varner’s place. Brenda was reporting 71F before 3 p.m. JB had over two inches of rain in northeast Trussville.
