A area of showers is moving southeastward across North and Central Alabama this evening ahead of a cold front.
The cold front was moving into western Tennessee and northwestern Mississippi at this hour.
Showers has reached as far south as I-20, generally speaking. The heaviest rain was over western sections of the state, over parts of Sumter, Greene, Pickens, Tuscaloosa, Fayette and Walker Counties.
I could not find any lightning on lightning detection output, but I wouldn’t rule out a clap of thunder.
Temperatures ranged from 50F at Gadsden to 53F at Birmingham to 59F at Tuscaloosa to 61F at Calera.
Expect the rain to last under two hours tonight.
Rainfall amounts should average one quarter of an inch this evening.
March should come in like a lamb tomorrow with clearing skies and mild temperatures. Highs will reach into the lower and middle 60s. Sunday will prove to be even nicer.
Then there will be Monday. The lamb will be gone, and will be replaced by the lion. Severe weather is a good possibility Monday afternoon and evening, followed by sharply colder weather on Tuesday with a chance of snow showers.
