Storms are over North Alabama at this hour. You can see the SPC slight risk boundary (the yellow line).

That storm over Marion County has been dumping some copious ranfall.  A blog reader reported three inches in 30 minutes with intense lightning.

That report is certainly supported by this storm total rainfall estimate.

The NWS has issued an aerial flood advisory for parts of Marion County. Flooding in poor draining areas is likely.

Be careful of the lightning as well.
