Update On Those Naughty Storms

The Severe Thunderstorm Warning for South Jefferson County expired at 2:45.

The NWS continues a Flash Flood Warning until 4:15. Flash flooding was occurring in the Homewood-Vestavia Hills area where an estimated 1 to 2 inches of rain had already fallen. The Flash Flood Warning includes places like Homewood, Vestavia Hills and Cahaba Heights and maybe parts of the immediate Birmingham area.

However, at 2:55 p.m., radar indicates that particular thunderstorm has weakened some and partially broken up. In fact, part of it is over the northern edge of Shelby County. We will continue to watch it.

This storm has been by itself.

Up in North Alabama, the thunderstorms are a little more numerous and very slow-movers. Flash Flood Warnings continue for Morgan and Franklin Counties. A tree was reported across a power line in Russellville in NW Alabama and they also had some dime-sized hail in that community.
