Scattered storms continue acorss Central Alabama this afternoon, but they are not increasing in intensity or coverage yet.

The main concentration is from DeKalb County in Northeast Alabama southward through Etowah, Calhoun and Cleburne Counties…on into Clay, Randolph and Chambers Counties.

Storms continue along an old outflow boundary over Northwest Alabama. They extend from Walker and SE Fayette Counties into northern Tuscaloosa and NE Pickens Counties.

Lots of vertical development on clouds in the Birmingham area, especially over northern Shelby County. I think we will see some storms form over the enxt hours or so.

Storms that develop during the afternoon will produce brief heavy rain, deadly lightning and occasional gusty winds. Watch out if any pop up near you.
