Most of the strong thunderstorms had diminished across Alabama by 7:15 this evening.
The Flash Flood Warning for the central parts of both Shelby and Jefferson County expired at 7:15.
Most of the heavier rain seemed to dodge the official airport gages this afternoon. Examples:
0.06 at Birmingham Airport
0.05 at Shelby County Airport
0.02 at Anniston Airport
0.00 (that spells none) at Tuscaloosa Airport.
Some other early reports:
0.68 in Anniston (Alabama Power Company)
1.09 in Clanton
1.51 at Colvin Gap along the Etowah-Calhoun County line
0.44 in Fort Payne
As soon as all reports are in, we surely will hear of some two-inch amounts in parts of Jefferson and Shelby County. Brian Peters reported an inch in Helena plunging the temperature to 75 at mid-afternoon.
Some official high temperatures today:
93 in Birmingham and Tuscaloosa
94 in Anniston
