Not many thunderstorms in progress this afternoon, but the few have formed are lazy as can be when it comes to moving.
Just got a call from Bill Murray who is visiting Vulcan. He reports considerable lightning off to the SW from a thunderstorm that was approaching the Birmingham area.
Thunderstorms also north of Tuscaloosa dumping locally heavy rain.
And over in East-Central Alabama, a thunderstorm developed along the Clay County-Talladega County line an hour or so ago. This storm has moved ever so slowly toward the north and is now near Talladega. Some parts of Talladega County, especially south of the city of Talladega, have probably received more than one inch of rain.
However, you could lump all of the storms in progress together and they would cover only a small percentage of Central Alabama.
With literally thousands of people involved in outdoor activities today on the rivers and lakes, it is more important than ever to be especially careful (and frightened) by lightning.
