At 4:15 on this Christmas Eve afternoon, a line of showers and thunderstorms extended from near Birmingham southward through West Shelby County to mid-way between Centreville and Clanton and then into Dallas and Wilcox County.
The stronger storms were in the south part of the line.
At one point earlier this afternoon there were Severe Thunderstorm Warnings for Clarke, Choctaw and Marengo County. It was believed that some of the storms may have nickle size hail.
Behind the line of showers and storms, rain is extensive over West Alabama. It has been raining over some of that area for several hours. Based on radar estimates, as much as three inches of rain has fallen over SE Marion County, in NW Alabama, with as much as two inches over South Lamar County.
Another area of rain was over East Alabama, places like Anniston, Gadsden, Roanoke and Wedowee.
Rain will be getting heavier in the Birmingham area for the remainder of this afternoon.
