Numerous showers now in progress over NW Alabama.

Just before 5 am, showers covered much of Lamar, Fayette and Walker county northward to the Florence-Tuscumbia-Muscle Shoals area in Extreme NW Alabama. Some thunderstorms involved but, overall, the lightning activity has diminished.

Lightning is seen from NE Trussville.

Leading eastern edge of the showers has reached Hartselle, Decatur and Cullman, as well as NW Jefferson County.

The showers are moderate to heavy. Movement is east about 30.

Individual showers are out ahead of the main mass, one over South Blount County and over North St. Clair.

Look for showers in the Birmingham area probably before 6 am.

James will be along shortly with the morning video duiscussion.
