Severe Weather Threat Diminished

The severe weather threat is diminishing across North and Central Alabama. The severe thunderstorm watch expired at midnight and was not extended. More showers and storms will continue overnight ahead of the front, and a isolated severe report or warning is certainly not out of the question.

At 12:15 a..m., rain and a little embedded thunder coninued over NE Marion, Winston, and southern Franklin and southern Lawrence Counties. The activity is moving SE and ESE pretty rapidly, at nearly 50 mph. It seems to be decreasing slowly in coverage and intensity.
