A Midnight Alabama Update--a 12:30 am Report

A cluster of strong thunderstorms was over West Central Alabama very early on this Friday morning.

At 12:30 am, the storms were mainly over Bibb and South Tuscaloosa County. A thunderstorm was in progress at Tuscaloosa Airport. The Brent-Centerville-West Blocton areas of Bibb County also getting strong storms.

They are producing very heavy rain and lots of lightning.

Other storms were moving into West Alabama's Pickens County from East Mississippi.

Movement is generally toward the NE or ENE. Don't be surprised to hear thunder in the Birmingham area later this morning.

In some of the North Alabama valleys, dense fog has also developed where temporary clearing occurred. Midnight visibility was only about 1/4 mile in the Trussville area and at Gadsden Airport.

It came DOWN here in Alabaster around 1 am. It was real windy, hailing, and bad cloud to ground lightning.
