Ahh…isn’t it nice to hear the sound of rain outside, with an occasional clap of thunder? Soaking rains continue over much of central Alabama, associated with warm air flowing up and over a layer of cooler air near the surface.

There is enough unstable air aloft that we have had some occasional lightning. Check out the loop from the NASA North Alabama Lightning Mapping Array since midnight.

A few of the storms on the southern edge of the rain area are strong, and will have to be watched, mainly for the possibility of large hail or damaging winds.
