Interesting convergence zone over West Alabama this afternoon. Lots of rain and storms straddling the Alabama/Mississippi border from Southwest Alabama around Chatom in Washington County ti southwest of Livingston to near Carrollton to near Vernon to west of Hamilton.
It is moving ever so slightly to the east.
Some two to three inch rainfall amounts indicated by Dooppler radar estimates over eastern Mississippi and western Alabama, especially over northwesterrn Pickens County northwest of Carrollton.
Interesting that the models seemed to pick up on this feature last wekeend. I wasn’t quite sure how to interpret it, but it is playing out like they showed.
Outside the rain areas, temperatures are dropping from the 90 degree mark. Clouds are over the west of course, with some lower clouds over the Tennessee Valley. And the cirrus blowoff from Tropical Storm Fay is seen in cirved bands over Southeast Alabama.
Fay is centered about 30 NNE of Cape Canaveral. The center is offshore. It is moving north at 2 mph.
Most of the models are in fairly good agreement that the system will turn west and northwest over the next five days, perhaps bringing welcomed rains to parts of the Southeast.
New advisory out in a few minutes. I will post it for you…
