Strong storms continue over West Alabama tonight.

Overall, coverage of showers and storms over the state has gone downhill over the past couple of hours, but not over West Alabama.

Torrential rains are lined up all along I-59 from I-359 to the Mercedes Plant at this hour. There is some lightning, but not as much as you would expect given the intensity of the echoes. Some of the strongest storms are near West Blocton, and will affect the interstate all the way up to the AL-5/US-11 exit.

More storms are over Autauga and Lowndes Counties…they will be moving toward Bibb County as well.

There is some heavy rain over Lamar County in West Alabama as well. And over Sumter and Greene Counties, heading back toward Pickens County.
