A surface trough of low pressure is clearly evident in observations across North and Central Alabama this afternoon.
Showers and storms continue in a couple of distinct southwest to northeast lines.
The first extendes from Marion County across Franklin and Lawrence Counties.
The second extends from Pickens and Tuscaloosa Counties northeastward across Fayette, Walker, Winston and Cullman Counties.
Both lines are weakening slowly, except for the southern end of the second line, where thunderstorms seem to be percolating over West Central Alabama.
A severe thunderstorm warning was in effect until 7 p.m. CDT for Franklin County, but there are now no warnings in effect now.
More showers and storms may form overnight in the vicinity of the low pressure trough over North and Central Alabama. Then, showers and storms will be likely tomorrow across the area as a cold front approaches from the northwest. Some of the storms could be strong to severe again tomorrow.
