A broad band of rain persists across North-Central Alabama this afternoon including some imbedded showers and even an occasional rumble of thunder.
The precipitation has been training all day, generally across the same area. Some of the heavier showers were over Jefferson, Southern St. Clair and Calhoun Counties.
Back to the west, a long zone of showers extends across North-Central Mississippi into North Louisiana.
A stalled front lying across North-Central Alabama is the reason the showers have revisited the same area time and time again. Ironically, it has rained very little a little further south in places like Greensboro, Marion, Centreville, Clanton, Rockford, Alexander City and Roanoke.
Showers have been heavy at times. Shortly afternoon it was raining hard enough at Hueytown in West Jefferson County for motorists to pull over.
Still a big contrast in temperature across that front. It was 59 degrees in Birmingham at 4:00 p.m. and 52 in Huntsville, but it was 75 in Montgomery and 79 in Evergreen.
A FEW RAINFALL REPORTS THROUGH 4:00 PM CST:
0.97 at the ABC 33/40 studios in Riverchase
0.94 at Birmingham Airport
0.63 at Tuscaloosa Airport
1.47 in NE Trussville
