Widespread rain across Alabama at this hour. Rain is getting heavier in parts of Central Alabama including the Greater Birmingham Area.
NWS, Huntsville has three Extreme Northeast Alabama Counties under a Flash Flood Warning until 11:45, otherwise there were no formal warnings in progress.
Only the Northwest part of the state was not getting rain.
This is a big rain event. At Bear Creek, in NW Alabama, well over three inches occurred just since midnight. We most certainly will hear of some 4 inch or even 5 inch amounts later.
Has been a long, long night. Headed for a SPN (Super Power Nap) serious football only two hours away. This blog will be kept up to date.
Happy New Year and, remember, if you write a check today, date it 1/1/11!
