Showers and storms have not been much to write home about today…but those areas that have been affected have seen some good lightning and brief heavy rain for sure.
At this hour, a broken line of storms extended from NE Marshall and DeKalb Counties, southwestward into Blount, northern Jefferson and NE Walker Counties, then into Tuscaloosa and Bibb Counties.
For the Birmingham Metro area, storms were backbuilding from the Warrior area over to Jasper. These storms were moving south and southeast and could affect much of the Metro in the next two hours. The more northerly part of this complex was weakening as it moves southward, with only moderate rain now in Blount County.
You can see the storms to the north from downtown Birmingham. The Gadsden area is still cloudy form the earlier storm there. It also looks stormy from the Jasper skycam.
Storms were developing in Tuscaloosa County from north of the Tuscaoosa/Northport area down to east of Brookwood and Vance. This activity was moving southeast.
If storms approach your location, go indoors and wait out the storm.
