An upper level disturbance passing to our north has triggered a line of showers and storms that is sliding south through North Central Alabama this afternoon.
At 4:45 p.m., showers were approaching I-59 over DeKalb, Marshall, western Etowah and Blount Counties, extending back into Cullman County. This activity was entering northern Jefferson County.
The heaviest rain was just north of Springville.
Another area of showers and storms was over Walker, Fayette, Lamar, Marion and Winston Counties.
The storm over northern Lamar County is along US-278 from Beaverton to Sulligent and into Mississippi. Lightning has been decreasing with this storm and it is below severe limits for now. It will move across SE Marion and into Fayette County.
A stronger storm was over Monroe County, Mississippi near Aberdeen. It shows good indications of some small hail and does contain lightning.
Severe weather is unlikely tonight, but there could be a couple of severe thunderstorm warnings. We will keep a close eye on things.
