Radar at noon showed a bad of light to moderate rain running east to west across Central Alabama from just south of the Tennessee River to just north of Montgomery. Most rainfall amounts in this area were less than a quarter of inch. However, some heavier rain has been on-going across Marion County and portions of Franklin, Winston, Walker, Fayette, and Lamar counties where up to an inch may have fallen.
Temperatures remained on the chilly side with readings in the mid 40s to lower 50s. South Alabama was in the lower 60s and a few coastal stations had reached 70.
The latest Storm Prediction Center outlook for Monday and Monday night still places all of Alabama with the exception of the northeast corner in a slight risk area. Dewpoint temperatures have climbed somewhat this morning, but we're still a long way from dewpoints in the 60s. Challenging situation to forecast because it seems difficult to believe the atmosphere can modify enough in the next 24 to 36 hours to become favorable for severe weather. So our watchful eyes will continue to monitor changes and bring you our latest thinking as the next couple of days unfold.
I've recorded a tenth of an inch at my house in Shelby County. But this is the kind of weather my dog, Dakota, hates. She's very finicky and just hates to get her paws wet, so it's tough getting her to go out on rainy days. So it means I have to get wet to motivate her. You know who the boss is here!
Stay tuned.
