Storms over East Alabama that were severe earlier have weakened this afternoon, but a couple are still packing a punch.
The one about 10 miles northeast of Alex City is moving toward the town, but it may blow itself out before it gets there since it is moving southwestward slolwy, about 10 mph. Storms to the northwest of it gusted out and sent an outflow boundary southwestward. That mini-cool front triggered a developing heavy shower near Childersburg that will produce lightning shortly.
There are storms over southern Clay County south of Ashland. They are also bubbling southward at about 10 mph. Some more are over southern Tallapoosa County south of Dadeville. Some storms just moved through the Auburn area, but they have weakened.
Alex City was 94F last hour, so they would probably welcome the cooling rush of air from the storm if it were to poop out, or a cooling shower. But be alert to the lightning. It can kill.
All of the storms are capable of deadly lightning, heavy rain and gusty winds.
