A plume of moisture coming out of the southwest has been producing showers from eastern Mississippi into northwestern Alabama last night and this morning.

The activity has been running into drier air the further east that it moves, and the showers have been weakening, with much of the precipitation evaporating before hitting the ground. It looks like they hit a wall when they get to I-65.

But activity across northern Tuscaloosa County that is moving into western Jefferson may be heavier enough to moisten the atmosphere up enough to let light rain fall. So be on the lookout for that in places like Sumiton, Dora, West Jefferson, Adamsville, Graysville and up to Warrior.

Some sprinkles or light rain may affect the Birmingham metro area.

Ronald Hughes at Coker in Tuscaloosa County has 0.26 inches in his rain bucket through about an hour ago. 0.11 inches has fallen officially at the Tuscaloosa Airport.
