DOPPLER RADAR ESTIMATES
A number of pockets of heavy rain over West Alabama exceeded 3 inches this afternoon. Some of the heaviest was over North Fayette County (we already have an actual measurement of 4.02 from Hubbertville; a small area of 3 inches over West Tuscaloosa County and Central Pickens County; a small area of 3 plus inches over North Sumter County and in the west edge of Greene County. Rain may have also exceeded 3 inches in a small area in Eastern Choctaw County.
