A complex weather situation across Alabama this afternoon. A northwesterly flow aloft is the dominant feature. A disturbance in this flow is producing thrunderstorms over Mississippi. The eastern extent of this activity extends into West Alabama.
Light rain and showers are moving southeastward through Lamar, Fayette, Pickens and Tuscaloosa Counties.
Heavy clouds are over West Alabama, generally south and west of US-78. North and east of that, the clouds thin out from. Temperatures are rather uniformly in the 80F range, except over Northeast Alabama, where they are climbing well into the 80s.
The best rain chances will continue in the southwestern sections of the state for the remainder of the afternoon.
Another disturbance tonight will likely spread more showers across the area after midnight and into Monday, with the best chances again coming over western sections.
A stationary frontal boundary over southern sections of the Gulf States will push northward by Tuesday, spreading rain and storms back our way.
