Not much happening at this hour.
A few showers growing over West Alabama over western Walker, Fayette, northern Tuscaloosa and Pickens Counties. Some of them are getting some height and could start producing lightning soon. This development is associated with a weak surface trough over western Alabama.
CAPEs over western Alabama have risen to about 1500 j/kg. Across the rest of Central Alabama CAPEs are in the 1000-1500 j/kg range. This will be sufficient for this complex to grow into storms as it moves eastward.
Be alert for darkening skies and thunder and go inside if storms approach your location.
To t he west. a powerful complex of storms is approaching the I-30 corridor in Arkansas. These storm will affect West Alabama after 8 p.m. tonight if they hold together. Keep an eye on them this evening.
We will be watching from here.
