The radar for North/Central and Central Alabama looks like chicken pox late this afternoon. There are so many storms in all different sizes. The only thing they have in common is that the storms are all moving toward the SE. Here is a list of some of the more prominent storrms:
…..St. Clair County just east of the Jefferson County line.Thunder can be heard in Trussville. That same storm complex extends over into extreme North Talladega County and along the Calhoun County line.
…..Along the Tuscaloosa/Jeferson/Bibb/Shelby County intersectino. This storm was dropping very heavy rain, but it has weakened some.
…..Winston/Walker County Line. More very heavy rain with this one. It is moving SE in the general direction of Sipsey and Jasper.
…..Coosa/Tallapoosa line. Pouring rain in that area and some of that downpour will affect NE Elmore County. There will be lots of heavy rain between Wetumpka and Dadeville.
…..East/Central and NE Alabama. Numerous showers and thunderstorms in those counties moving toward the SE.
…..The NWS has Significant Weather Alerts for a number of locations.
…..Lightning detection equipment shows that the most intense lightning and the most frequent is over North/Central Alabama from Coosa County northward to about Cullman and Etowah Counties. Don’t forget: lightning is frightening. There was 13-year-old girl killed by lightning yesterday while she worked in her garden. I do not know the location or even if it was in Alabama.
This is a general overview and, naturally, we could not mention every single storm.
