Showers and storms are along and just south of I-459 this afternoon. They have been sparked by an eastward moving outflow boundary.

The heaviest rain and a good bit of lightning is from Cahaba Heights to Lake Purdy to south of Liberty Park. The activity is moving northward and will affect Irondale, eastern Mountain Brook and eventually Trussville hopefully…

Watch out for lightning and the possibility of thunderstorm downburst winds to 60 mph. Damage was reported earlier in Bibb County.

The NWS has just issed a severe thunderstorm warning for northern Shelby and eastern Jefferson County. It goes until 515 p.m.
