Early Evening Look at Alabama--6:40 Report

Overall, not as many showers/storms as compared to this afternoon. A look at some of them:

* Moderate thunderstorm east Tuscaloosa County near Brookwood and north of I 59/20
* Thunderstorms with moderate to heavy rain along Blount-Marshall County line and into West Etowah County west of Attalla-Gadsden. Some of this heavier rain spreading NE toward Guntersville
* Moderate showers in the Russellville-Haleyville-Smith Lake area of NW Alabama
* Moderate to strong thunderstorm over North Dallas County, NW of Selma. A relatively small one

Movement of showers/storms slowly toward the north and NE

I doubt if very many people are reading these reports with everyone outdoors for baseball and fireworks.

JB,
Hanging out with my folks in Huntsville...I do take a few minutes here and there to keep up with the weather and I appreciate your updates. I was talking with my parents' neighbor this afternoon....he has had a garden for 50+ years and he said that this is one of the driest years he can remember. Here in NE Huntsville it is dry as a bone and rain is very much needed!

Well, I'm just checking the radar. I hear thunder from the east Tusc. t'storm. Just wish the rain would come south of the I-State a few miles!

Even though I am reading your updates on Wednesday morning, thank you for keeping us all up to date--and thanks for sending some of that overnight rain to Vestavia.
