A line of showers and storms continues tonight, near and along I-59 from the Birmingham aera up to Fort Payne.
The line is moving east more quickly now ahead of a big trough that will bring much colder weather to Alabama over the weekend.
The intensity of the showers and storms is decreasing overall. The heaviest rainfall now is from Fort Payne to Collinsville to Altoona and east of Springville.
Not much lightning left at this hour.
Showers west of I-59 have diminished a bit too. Showers will continue through daybreak. Some light rain will be possible during the day. Skies will be mostly cloudy with slowly falling temperatures across much of the area. Temperatures will be in the 40s in most areas.
It will be windy with northwest winds at 12-22 mph. Lake windy advisories will be in effect.
Some clearing will work its way into the area from west to east by later afternoon.
