A weakening upper trough is moving eastward out of Texas and across Louisiana this morning.
This system produced some extremely heavy rainfall amounts last night across South Texas, including widespread seven inch amounts across Fayette County east of San Antonio. This rainfall produced flooding.
The heaviest concentration of rain this morning is over Louisiana. Lafayette, along I-20, was reporting heavy rain this hour.
Light rain was falling across parts of southern Mississippi, with several stations including Meridian and Jackson reporting light rain.
In Alabama, some light rain was falling bewteen Meridian and Livingston along I-59. Some patchy very light rain was over Southwest Alabama.
The activity is moving northeast. I think that the overall coverage and intensity of the rain area will gradually diminsih with time, but showers will be on the increase across Alabama as wear through the late morning and afternoon. Rainfall amounts will be light, generally less than one tenth of an inch.
Lightning detection equipment reveals little in the way of activity with this mass of rain. So while there could be a couple of thunderstorms especially over Southwest Alabama this afternoon, the chance is small.
Temperatures are in the 60s across Central Alabama. Highs should top out in the middle to upper 60s with a few spots making 70 this afternoon.
Holding out hope for some much needed rain Wednesday and Thursday of this week, although we will have to monitor the possibility of severe weather. Still see some light rain next Saturday and a couple of heavy rain producers around the 27th of November and the 1st of December.
