A large area of rain continues over Northwest Alabama tonight, over Franklin, Marion, Lawrence and Winston Counties, extending into Walker County.
The rainfall continues to be moderate to heavy over a wide part of those counties.
But the lightning output has dropped off a bit. Hopefully this is not a sign that the rain area will fall apart, as it is heading toward the Birmingham Metro area generally.
The heaviest rain areas were…
…between Haleyville and Double Springs
…along US-278 east of Hamilton
…near Hackleburg
…near Hodges in Franklin County
…and entering southwestern Franklin County near Red Bay from Itawamba County, Mississippi
Other showers were over western Jefferson County west of Mulga and over Cullman County, heading for Blount County.
