Scattered areas of the state are receiving rain this afternoon from one of the better spreads of showers and thunderstorms we have seen lately. The rainfall has been very localized and the storms that have produced it have been of the pulse variety, meaning that they don’t hold together very long.
At 5:45 p.m. the best rainfall is along a long line that has developed from Cullman through Walker into northern Tuscaloosa, Greene and Sumter Counties. Storms are fairly numerous along this line. The activity is training along it, moving NNE, so hopefully some areas will get decent amounts.
A large area of light to moderate general rains covers parts of Sumter, Marengo, Hale and Perry Counties. It is generally stationary.
A large area of showers and storms is moving out of Marshall County into Jackson County in the Tennessee Valley.
In St. Clair County, developing storms were between Springville and Odenville. Then will move north crossing I-59.
In the Birmingham area, weakening showers were moving through NE Jefferson County. Areas around Roebuck and Center Point got a nice shower. Weakening showers were moving west of Leeds.
