Early Afternoon Cold Rain Update--1:10 pm

A steady cold rain continues all across North Central Alabama early on this miserable Monday afternoon.

Only thing, I am not miserable. I love a day like this.

Amazingly, no rain from this storm in Montgomery so far.

The heaviest rain has been in a broad zone across the north central part and that it where it remains this afternoon.

And, yes, even some thunderstorms. We have a report of thunder with the cold rain at Winfield, Marion County.

At 2:10 pm, a thunderstorm was in progress in Trussville with moderate to heavy rain.

Heavy rain has also been reported in Alabaster. These totals were through noon:

1.33 in Inverness
2.47 at Birmingham Airport
3.06 in the NE part of Trussville (where I hang out)
1.15 in Anniston

The rain continues to move east but the broad zone of rain has also sank a little more to the south.

Boy what IF those rainfall totals were translated into snow amounts. 24 inches for Bham and 30 inches for Trussville. What IF!

Hey JB got the rainfall total for Alabaster at my house the total is 0.68. So I guess the heavy rain missed my house.

1.94" in Bluff Park. I just saw a little flash of lightning and am hearing the thunder. Just a few degrees difference (it's 39 here) and what a snow this would have been!!!

JB, Just for grins, let's say that 2.47 inches of rain that has fallen in Bham would have been snow. And it were cold enough to stay around. How much would be on the ground about now?

It's raining hard at my home in eastern Tuscaloosa county (Coaling) right now with thunder and lightning. Just curious, if this rain continues and the temperature falls to 26-28 like is forecast, what are we going to be facing tonight and tomorrow in the way of ice????
