Brian will be along with the video shortly, but just a quick note.

Lots of showers over Mississippi this morning are moving east. They are associated with a shortwave trough swinging through the long wave trough over the eastern U.S.

They have gone down just a bit in overall intensity in the past hour, but they are maintaining their coverage.

So, it appears that the forecast will have to be changed for today and we will have to up those chances of precipitation. Woohoo!

Some showers were moving eastward up in the Tennessee Valley of North Alabama, across Limestone, Madison and Morgan Counties.

About 65% of the northern third of Mississippi is getting light to moderate rain at this hour. This precipitation should move into and across the northern third of Alabama later this morning, generall along and north of I-20.

Temperatures were generally around 70 across Alabama and dewpoints were in the lower and middle 60s.
