Alabama Weather Update 4:45 p.m.

A thick deck of high cirrostratus clouds has overspread the area this afternoon. The high clouds are the outflow from a complex of thunderstorms over Mississippi.

This activity will spread into western sections of Alabama over the next couple of hours over Sumter and Pickens Counties. The rain and storms will move across the state during the evening hours.

The activity is moving northeast at a pretty good clip now, nearly 40 mph.

It will reach Tuscaloosa around 630 p.m and the Birmingham area before 8 p.m.

Some stronger storms are located in extreme southern Alabama. They have moved out of Mobile and Baldwin Counties into Washington and Escambia counties. This activity will also be spreading northward.

We don't expect any severe weather tonight, but you can look for decent amounts of lightning and thunder, along with some heavy rain.

The upper level disturbance causing the activity is over Central Mississippi. It will continue moving east northeast overnight.

Low pressure over southeastern Texas will move northeast over the next 36 hours, pushing a cold front our way. More thunderstorms will develop in the warm and unstable airmass over Alabama tomorrow. Some of them could be severe, with the main threat coming from high winds.
