After a massive feast we are back on the road headed back to the weather office…
NWS Birmingham has issued a significant weather alert for Pickens County… storms are growing stronger over West Alabama, and the storm southwest of Reform has the potential to produce very heavy rain, some hail, and lots of lightning. Over in Tuscaloosa County, our Skywatcher in Northport, Bud Bean, reports .38″ with wind gust of 21 mph within the hour.
And, to the east, the cluster of showers and storms is still hanging over parts of Etowah and Calhoun counties. As you can see from Jason’s post below… we have had reports of over four inches of rain measured near Bynum, and 1.65″ at Hokes Bluff. These showers and storms in that small area are really hanging tough.
I will have a complete discussion and the afternoon Weather Xtreme video posted by 3:30 this afternoon…
