Rain Moving In--10:40 pm Update

It is raining late tonight over a rather large part of NW and West Alabama.

At 10:40 pm, most areas west of a Tuscaloosa-Birmingham-Huntsville line had rain. So far it has been light in Alabama with a few spots of moderate rain over the NW.

However...the rain is far more extensive across mississippi and some of it is heavy. The heavier rain, along with some thunderstorms will continue to spread eastward across Alabama tonight and Sunday morning. Some areas could easily get over an inch of rain.

Although there will also be some thunderstorms mixed in, the risk of severe weather appears minimal. The Storm Prediction Center had most of Mississippi outlooked for a slight risk tonight.

Overall, the atmosphere is not very unstable.

No warnings were needed as this activity moved across Louisiana and, so far, no warnings in Mississippi. Sever thunderstorm warnings were needed further north in Kansas.

At 10:40 pm, lightning detection equipment showed very little lightning with this weather.
