Draw our front this morning as a wavy stationary front somewhere over North Alabama, likely between Birmingham and Cullman. Our pre-frontal band of convection did fill in nicely during the pre-dawn hours and is beginning to fire up this morning much as the evening runs of the models predicted.
They were unanimous in thier belief that showers and storms would be intensifying this morning just south of Birmingham across Central Alabama, and they were right.
Storms are firing over Pickens County, back into Noxubee County Mississippi. This trend should continue for the next few hours, bringing some healthy rainfall amonts to parts of Central Alabama.
There could even be some hail involved and I wouldn't be surprised to see a couple of warnings. The Storm Prediction Center outlooks only extreme Southeast Alabama for severe weather today.
North of this band, skies should remain cloudy through the morning hours, with some clearing possible later in the day. Temperatures will likely make it into the 70s since the inflow of cooler air has not begun and the sun might eventually come out for a time. Will update the forecast accordingly.
Brian will be along shortly with the morning map discussion.
