Alabama at Mid Afternoon

The line of thunderstorms that was approaching the Birmingham area from the northwest has partially broken apart.

Actually, an outflow boundry, or gust front, out ran the storms and triggered some more storms more to the south.

So, now, new storms have formed over SW Jefferson County and near the Jefferson/Shelby County line.

There was also a small moderate thunderstorm near Tuscaloosa. To the north, a cluster of thunderstorms was producing heavyrain over north arms of Smith Lake.
