Well, that may not be the best word to use. Last night an impressive line of showers and thunderstorms moved into West and NW Alabama holding promise for some decent rainfall amounts.
Two things said no. After dark cooling and more stable air the further east the line moved.
At 8:30 this morning, there was not a single shower in the state.
We believe that some fairly good amounts fell last night where there were no rain gages. These are the only Alabama amounts we have so far:
0.42 at Hamilton (Skycam)
0.11 at Huntsville
0.12 at Meridianville
0.20 at Decatur Airport
0.01 at Muscle Shoals (We are skeptical of that amount)
0.00 (zip, none) at Tuscaloosa and Birmingham
MISSISSIPPI GOT A BETTER DEAL
0.67 at Columbus Air Force Base
0.67 at Greenville (in the Mississippi Delta)
0.86 at Hattisburg (South Mississippi)
BACK IN ALABAMA: CLAY (NE JEFFERSON COUNTY)
0.89 so far this month
23.46 for 2006 so far
4.00 is their approxmate deficiency
30.51 so far this year at Birmingham, not far away
3.05 is the Birmingham excess
DEMOPOLIS
Don Fleming, the 3340 weather watcher advises that a mere 0.14 has fallen in that West Alabama city so far this month and 24.47 so far this year.
ORANGE BEACH
I like the wording from 3340 weather watcher, Lewis Cullen. He reported one drop per square foot Sunday meaning, of course, a trace.
BUT HOW ABOUT SOUTHEAST TEXAS
3.66 at Beaumont in the last 24 hours
3.76 at Bush Airport, Houston
8.23 at Hobby Airport, Houston
Big cluster of strong storms with heavy rain continues in that area this morning.
