Radar Update

Areas east of I-59 are seeing all the shower and thunderstorm activity late on this Sunday afternoon...

Thunderstorms cover much of DeKalb county at this hour, with travelers along a long stretch of I-59 south of Fort Payne about to be in heavy rain.

Much of St. Clair County is enjoying rain and storms with the main activity extending from just south of Steele to east of Ashville to west of Ragland to east of Branchville and Moody.

Some moderate to heavy rain and a little thunder over Shelby County between Alabaster, Columbiana and Chelsea.

Chilton County has some of the heaviest activity with a fairly good storm in the middle of a cluster of storms over eastern Bibb and western Chilton County west of Jemison.

Some of the other best storms are over Tallapoosa, Chambers and northwest Lee County around Dadeville.

A nice thunderclap here in Trussville just now from a growing storm along I-459 between Irondale and Liberty Park. Have to head outside and check it out...

Do as I say and not as I do...stay inside when a storm is in your vicintity. Lightning is the biggest summertime weather killer. Any of these storms today will be packing a considerable amount of it. Treat them with respect.

After three days of teasing, I finally got a rain I can report without holding my head down in shame. :) As usual, the rain split around me here at Black Creek with places like Collinsville and Attalla getting heavier amounts, but I still managed 0.98" as of 15 minutes ago and it's still raining lightly.
