A band of heavy rain is moving through the Birmingham metro area late this morning, but there is very little lightning associated with this activity, and the storms are not severe. We might have some local flooding problems, and the rain will be moving into St. Clair and Shelby Counties during the lunch hour.
MORE SEVERE WEATHER? SPC is about to issue a new tornado watch for counties along and south of the surface boundary that is just south of Birmingham. With more heating it will result in greater storm buoyancy, thus stretching and better chance of tornado activity. The watch will be posted shortly…
