I wonder what JB and James are up to on the loose over in StarkVegas right now? I bet they’re having a ball. And I am sure that the morning involved doughnuts!
The radar is still quiet…a function of the cloudy skies. Yesterday, sunshine broke out by late morning, quickly heating the surface and warming the atmosphere, making things unstable and resulting in storms.
Today, clouds have been tougher to disperse, hence less heating and less instability.
A few persistent very light showers have been popping up in the southeasterly flow over western Jefferson, Walker, NE Tuscaloosa and Fayette Counties.
Where skies have been sunnier, to the west in Mississippi, showers and storms are plentiful.
Skies are starting to clear some now west of I-65 in Alabama, and I think you will soon see an increase in precipitation over western sections of the state and eventually statewide.
It should be another stormy afternoon and overnight across Central Alabama. A flash flood watch is in effect for much of Central and Northwest Alabama.
Be ready for the potential for storms to dump very heavy rainfall in a short period time, with the attendant runoff problems.
Remember, turn around…don’t drown! Don’t walk or drive into standing or flowing water.
