Our strong storms over southeastern Shelby County and northwestern Coosa County have been producing torrential rains and horrible lightning for the past hour or so. Now the storms seem to be on the downhill slide with the huge amounts of precipitation aloft now collapsing to the ground. An impressive outflow boundary is spreading out from the storm in a huge arc from I-65 near Alabaster around to the interstate north of Clanton then over to Rockford.
People in advance of this outflow probably have been experiencing winds of 35 mph or higher, enough to bring down small limbs and blow around light debris.
Additional storms could fire just behind this outflow boundary as it lifts the air ahead of it.
A small storm is between Springville and Ashville in St. Clair County.
Another storm is along the Tuscaloosa/Jefferson County lines.
Finally, the Carroll County Georgia storm has back built over into Randolph County, Alabama. It is quite intense from Roopville, Georgia back over to near Wedowee.
Be alert to these storms and any additional ones thatmight form. They could pack deadly lightning, strong gusty winds and torrential rains.
