Showers and thunderstorms that earlier produced some lightning and thunder, heavy rain and small hail from the Birmingham area up to Blount County and into Etowah County have weakened over the past hour and have nearly dissipated.
Further south, the thunderstorm area over South Central Alabama has diminished into a large ara of moderate to occasionally heavy rain.
The Flash Flood Watch has been cancelled for Central Alabama. The threat for heavy rain has ended.
Stronger storms continue over extreme South Alabama and the Florida Panhandle, but they too have weakened.
Back to the west, a sharp but narrow line of showers with a little embedded thunder is moving across North and Central Mississippi. It will reach the Northwest Corner of the state about 11:15 p.m.... Marion County about 12:15 a.m. and Pickens County about 2:15 a.m. This activity is ahead of a cold front that is now moving across Mississippi.
The airmass across North Alabama is just too stable for any dangerous weather overnight...although don't be surprised if you thunder, a brief burst of intense rain and a rush of wind in the middle of the night as the narrow line passes.
It was 53F at Harrison AR with a brisk northwest wind at 9 p.m.
Strong storms continue over South Mississippi, but they are now south of US-82. A tornado warning was in effect until 10 p.m. for three counties around Prentiss, but the activity appeared to have weakened on radar in the past few minutes. No word out of Jackson on whether the warnings will be extended eastward.
