Rain has exited the I-20 corridor this morning.
The main rain area, which is about 40 miles wide, extends from Evergreen to Troy to Phenix City.
Behind this main area, a few showers extend from southern Sumter and Choctaw Counties on the west to through Perry, Chilton and Autauga into Randolph and Chambers Counties along the Georgia border.
An easterly wedge extends into eastern and northeastern Alabama where temperatures are around 50 degrees. Further west, readings are in the middle and upper 50s.
Skies are cloudy across the area. There is still some fog in the Tennessee Valley. The visibility at Cullman was still 1/2 mile just before 10 a.m. Clouds and fog are still thick to our west and northwest. If you went northwest from Birmingham, you would not find sunshine until you got to Tulsa, Oklahoma.
Rain is expected to form again to south southwest and edge northward overnight as the main upper level wave finally lifts out to the northeast. Showers should overspread most of Central Alabama again overnight. Rainfall amounts should be light, around 0.20 inches north of I-20, wiht some amounts from one quarter to one half inch south of I-20. Amounts to three quarters of an inch are expected across South Alabama tonight and Monday morning.
2.07 inches of rain has fallen so far at the Birmingham Airport from this system.
