Here’s a look at Alabama’s weather just before 5 p.m…
The radar is active across western sections, much as we expected today. Activity was almost exclusively west of I-65.
Showers and thunderstorms are over the following areas….
..over Northwest Alabama…across Colbert, Lawrence, Marion, Winston and NW Walker Counties. One storm was just north of Brilliant in Marion County. Another was near Carbon Hill extending up to near Nauvoo. Activity was generally north and northeast.
…showers and thunderstorms were numerous over West Central Alabama, including, Pickens, Tuscaloosa, Greene, Sumter, Hale, Bibb and Perry Counties. This activity was generally moving east. The strongest activity here was from south of Tuscaloosa near Moundville to near Akron, Eutaw and on to Boligee.
All of this activity is a sign of things to come. Our rain chances will be going up for the next two to three days with the chance for some decent rainfall amounts across the area.
Temperatures were around 90 in areas that are not experiencing rain. The mercury had fallen back to 80 at Tuscaloosa, with showers nearby.
