The line of storms ahead of a strong cold front is weakening tonight. The distinct line of storm has become less defined and is spreading out.
The leading edge extends from Marshall and Mourgan Counties, through Winston, Fayette and Lamar Counties.
The main line has become a little more broken and extends from Moulton to Haleyville to Vernon in Lamar County.
The line has slowed just a bit, but is still moving eastward at 40-45 mph.
Lightning output has decreased dramatically.
No warnings currently in effect.
No reports of any high winds since a report of trees down and trailers removed from their foundations nearly two hours ago at Cloverdale in Northwest Alabama.
Instability is almost non-existent across North and Central Alabama with CAPE values very low. A small area of lifted index values that are negative is over North Central Alabama.
It appears that the severe threat (that was minimal anyway) is diminishing. Once we get the line to the I-59 corridor, it should be mostly gone.
One hour rainfall amounts are generally less than one quarter of an in ch except in some of the stronger showers, which are producing 1/4 to 1/3 of inch.
