Showers Moving East--7 o'clock Report

A band of showers, with some thunder, was across East Jefferson and Central Shelby County and moving steadily toward the east. None of this is severe and there is only a modest amount of lightning. Too bad it had to move across for part of the morning rush hour.

The rain has already tapered off from downtown Birmingham westward...although there will be more later this morning. Almost all of the Birmingham Metro should be getting a break by around 8 o'clock.

The showers extend southward into Chilton, Autauga, Lowdnes and Butler counties.

To the north, heavy showers were over North Cullman County and in NW Alabama east of Hamilton and Russellville.

We will post some rainfall amounts later this morning.

That thunderstorm made it VERY difficult to get out of bed this morning! The fact that I work 3rd shift probably had a lot to do with it too....See you guys next week, I am off to Memphis...

Be careful Matthew!!

My oldest didn't want to get out of bed either. Wound up taking him to school, he heard some thunder out in the way blue yonder and refused to ride the bus.
