Thunderstorms are going downhill slowly this afternoon.
There are still a few that are packing a punch. Some of those are in the Leeds/Moody area, where up to an inch of rain has already fallen. A significant weather alert is in effect until 615 p.m. for St. Clair and Shelby Counties.
Storms over Pickens, Greene and Sumter Counties have weakened, but are still producing gusty winds, heavy rain and lots of lightning. More storms are over Noxubee County, MS moving toward Pickens County.
The good news is that the storms should die down in plenty of time for the various fireworks displays in the Birmingham metro area.
