Showers continue mainly over East Alabama this morning. The activity has been going downhill after a flare up in some areas right around sunrise.

It made for great waking up weather early this morning with some heavy rain and occasional thunder.

Showers extend from Decatur to Oneonta to Anniston then southward through Clay county into Coosa and Tallapoosa Counties and points south.

A few showers are over Marion, Winston, Fayette and Walker Counties in Northwest Alabama.

Most of the state is socked in with heay clouds. Here is a beautiful visible satellite image from a little while ago.

Some sun will break through later this morning and with a little daytime heating, showers and storms will break out again.

With some shear, there could be some rotating updrafts today. So we could see a few warnings later. Just keep an ear to a weather source.
