Rain has greatly diminished across Alabama early this afternoon. In fact, most of the rain has ended over the west and SW part of the state. Current radar shows that the rain is limited mostly to the NE quarter of the state from about Birmingham north eastward. The heavier rain has shifted over into North Georgia and East Tennessee.
SOME ADDITIONAL RAIN REPORTS
2.67 inches five miles south of Chelsea
2.50 Oxford
1.47 Springville/Simmons Mountain
Well over 1 inch of additional rain fell at Birmingham Airport, so our total for the year is well over 69 inches. We don’t have the exact total at the moment.
The NWS permitted all of the Flash Flood Watches to expire at 12 noon, so now we don’t have any warnings or watches except a couple of rural flood warnings.
