Most of our storms have gone downhill quite a but in the past hour.

No warnings in effect right now across North or Central Alabama.

Now there are just three large areas of moderate rain across the northern half of the state.

The first…over Northwest Alabama…covers Marion, Franklin and Colbert Counties. This activity is pushing east.

The second is over North and North Central, moving into Northeast Alabama. Heavier rain showers and a few storms are aligned along the front edge of the rain area, primarily from Blount through Cullman County.

Blount County will see some heavier rain and lightning over the next hour.

The third area extends from western Jefferson through eastern Tuscaloosa into western Bibb, Greene and Hale Counties. This activity will be pushing deeper into Jefferson and into Shelby Counties in the next hour.

There are still showers and some storms over North Central Mississippi.

The southward movement of the line over Mississippi seems to have slowed and the activity may be stalling. There is a low pressure system along the front over western Tennessee and the line may be waiting for this low to pass on before it resumes its southward motion.

It certainly seems to have run out of steam.
