Getting what what seems like it will be an active day in the weather office started with a quick check of the radar…
At 8:20 a.m…some stronger strosm were exiting East Alabama’s Cleburne as well as Chambers and Lee Counties. This actviity is associated with a deep moisture axis that is moving east into Georgia.
A dying line of showers is over Northwest Alabama. This is the trailind end of a thunderstorm complex in Tennessee. It will become important later today as another boundary.
An outflow boundary from this activity was moving through Bibb and Hale Counties, and it has triggered a brief flare up of a couple of storms in Greene County.
Moderate rain and a few thunderclaps is over Northeast Alabama, mainly over Jackson and Marshall Counties.
Our cold front is near Memphis now with a pre-frontal trough over Northeast Mississippi.
All of the features combined with a very moist and unstable airmass will produce fairly widespread heavy thunderstorms today across the area. These storms are going to be prolific lightning producers. Strong gusty winds will also be possible, capable of bringing down trees and causing damage. Heavy rain will be likely also, so be careful if you are driving when one of these storms is near.
