At 1:30 a.m. on this Saturday morning, showers were pushing south over Northeast Alabama.
Radar catches them from eastern Lauderdale through Limestone County, then into Madison, Jackson and DeKalb Counties.
A large area of heavier showers and thunderstorms extends from west of Nashville to Crossville and into Northeast Tennessee. This activity is pushing south ahead of a cold front that is nearing the Ohio River.
It is a muggy night across Central Alabama with dew points near 70 and temperatures mainly in the middle 70s. Readings are still near 80 over the western Tennessee Valley at Muscle Shoals and Hunstville.
Clouds are thick over the northern third of the state. The day should begin rather cloudy over much of the area around sunrise, with some breaks in the clouds the further south you go.
Showers will continue southward for the remainder of the early morning hours over areas east of I-65. Showers and storms will increase during the day ahead of the approaching front.
Brian will have the Weather Extreme video around 8 in the morning. I will be back with updates throughout the day.
