Quick look at the radar this morning shows a large area of light to moderate rain with some embedded storms over West Central Alabama from Jefferson County back through Walker, Fayette and Lamar Counties. Lightning and thunder was occurring over NW Jefferson County west of Warrior and Kimberly. Lightning has been visible from the Birmingham Airport.
Some showers were pushing southward over Blount, northern St. Clair, Etowah and Marshall Counties. These were growing into storms. They will affect eastern Jefferson and the rest of St. Clair County a little later.
A large complex of stronger storms was over Northwest Alabama. It covers parts of Colbert, Franklin, northern Winston and into Marion Counties. Lightning counts were growing with this set of storms. It was pushing south southeastward.
The clouds and rain could put our 100 degrees streak in jeopardy today. Go clouds and rain!
