They are not very numerous.
In fact, at 2:30, the north half of the state was virtually free of showers or thunderstorms. Several did develop early this afternoon over Chilton County.
They moved ever so slowly toward the south. Most of those were over Autauga County at 2:30. Some other widely spaced storms had developed down into SE Alabama and there was a lone isolated one over the SW corner of Tuscaloosa County.
For the greater Birmingham area and places northward, any thunderstorms this afternoon and evening were expected to be few and far between.
Chances of getting wet will improve considerably over thr weekend, especially Sunday.
