Thunderstorms continue across Alabama this afternoon.

Storms in the Birmingham area have dissipated.

East Alabama’s actviity has moved into Georgia.

Now actviity seems to be concentrating along a line from Columbus MS to Cullman to Huntsville. This activity seems to be intensifying and growing in coverage, especially over parts of Marion, Fayette, Walker, Winston and southern Lawrence Counties. This could be in response to the front to our northwest.

All activity is moving southeast. The stuff over Marion, Walker, Winston and Fayette will affect Cullman County and could affect parts of Blount, Jefferson and Tuscaloosa Counties over the next couple of hours if it holds together. Storms in Monroe Co., Mississippi will affect Alabama’s Lamar County.

Be alert for deadly lightning, gusty winds and very heavy rainfall for the rest of the afternoon into this evening.

This front will give us better rain and storm chances tomorrow. Some of the storms could be strong to severe.
