Showers and storms continue tonight across Central sections of the state.
A large cluster of showers is over West Alabama’s Marengo, Sumter, Greene, Hale and Pickens Counties. It is moving east. More discrete showers and storms extend across Tuscaloosa, Jefferson, Shelby, Talldega, Calhoun, Cleburne, Randolph and Chambers Counties.
To the west, a strong upper trough is moving east from the Plains. It will spin up low pressure over Arkansas by tomorrow morning. As this low moves east northeast, the fornt will move back north as a warm front, dragging the focus for showers and storms with it during the early morning hours.
The evening runs of the major global models have come in much wetter, with near 100% chances of rain across much of Central and North Alabama tomorrow and tomorrow evening. The GFS is predicting up to two inches of rain for Birmingham.
Storms will become severe in the unstable airmass over Alabama tomorrow with the low providing extra shear. The SPC has most of Central and North Alabama outlooked for a slight risk of severe weather tomorrow. That should be carried into the Day 1 outlook.
