Our isolated storms are having a very hard time getting their act together today…without the trough around and with limited moisture…they formed and gradually died on the vine.

One recent exception is a healthy little storm that developed quickly over northern Tallapoosa County near New Site and Goldville. It quickly developed heavy rain and began to produce lightning strokes. No movement was detected by radar yet, but when it does, it will be a slow southward or southwestward drift. This pop up storm will rain itself out rather quickly, but will produce brief heavy rain and deadly lightning before it does.

Isolated showers will continue to develop across the region this afternoon, and a couple could grow to be little storms. But they will be few and far between.

Nothing threatening downtown Birmingham and City Stages. It looks like a great night to be at our city’s music festival.
