Showers and thunderstorms are starting to bubble late on this Sunday morning…
The main concentration so far has been over Northeast Alabama. The storms are of the pulse variety, going up and then coming back down quickly with another one to replace it. The heaviest actity is lining up just west of Alabama 75 from Geraldine up to Sylvania.
Skies are mostly cloudy over Northeast Alabama, with just a few breaks in the clouds.
If you move south and west across North and Central Alabama, you find more sunshine. Temperatures are warming into the 80s in these areas.
Showers and thunderstorms are nealry solid over southern Mississippi and Southeast Louisiana. This activity is spreading east and a little north. Ahead of it, showers are breaking out over Central Mississippi into West Central Alabama. Showers are developing quickly over Pickens, Greene and Sumter Counties. These should spread northeast and grow with time as they encounter more unstable air in the sunlit areas.
Some of the more unstable air for the time being is over Northwest Alabama and I think you will see some bigger storms develop in this area this afternoon over places like Marion, Winston, Franklin and Walker Counties.
A stranded upper level disturbance to our west is keeping Alabama in a deep plume of Gulf of Mexico moisture.
We are kepeing our fingers crossed for another good soaking across the area today and again tomorrow. Sorry about the golf games, or showers at the lake, but we really need the rain.
Be wary of developing storms in your area and take lightning precautions. Remember that these storms will be able to produce microbursts that can cause wind damage very quickly. Be careful.
