Showers and storms are getting going this afternoon…

A new one is radpily strengthening SW of Fayette.

A cluster has developed over SE Fayette, SW Walker and northern Tuscaloosa Counties…from Berry to Oakman down into Tusacaloosa County.

The storms are moving in a general SW or SSW direction. This first bath may affect SW Jefferson County. Upstream over NW Alabama, showers were forming over SE Lawrence County. More development may occur in this area through the rest of afternoon.

Watch out for deadly lightning, torrential rains, the potential for high winds and even some hail from today’s storms.
