A cold front pushing into North Alabama is causing some more thunderstorms to develop over the northern sections of the state.

The dew point has dropped into the 40s over NW, while it is in the 60s elsewhere. At 12:00 midnight, the scattered storms were in a random pattern from the Tennessee Valley down into Central Alabama. While they were not numerous, some of the stronger ones were over Marshall and DeKalb Counties in the NE part of the state. Others were scattered around Marion, Jefferson and Pickens Counties. Lightning has been observed in a number of these storms. It is unlikely that they will become severe. Movement was toward the ENE.

Meanwhile down south, the old original mass of thunderstorms extended from south of Monroeville to the Montgomery area. Those storms over the south third of the state were stronger.

At midnight, there were no formal warnings in the state. We cannot totally rule outa few isolated warnings.
