In North Alabama…the line of storms extends from western Marshall county through eastern Cullman County to along the Jefferson/Walker County line. It will continue pushing east.
No warnings are in effect for North Alabama.
A tornado watch continues for North Alabama until 4 p.m.
The NWS Birmingham says they are reluctant to clear counties behind the line because of the potential for thunderstorm redevelopment this afternoon over eastern Mississippi that would move into Alabama again. The first line did little to modify the airmass behind it with high dew points remaning in place. We will wait and see.
A tornado watch remains in effect for the rest of West and South Central Alabama until 9 p.m. tonight.
Flash flood warnings continue for a wide area of South Central Alabama where widespread heavy rain has occurred.
