When that cold (excuse me, I meant cool) front reached Central Alabama this afternoon, it started fighting with the warm humid air in that part of the state. A line of thunderstorms formed producing lots of lightning.
It is no longer a distinct line of storms, but some scattered strong storms continue from the SW corner of Bibb County down into extreme South Alabama. Probably the strongest storms at 4:45 pm were:
* over the SW corner of Bibb County near Pondville in the edge of the Talladega National Forest
* near Stanton in extreme SW Chilton County
* near Livingston in Sumter County
* near Butler in Choctaw County
* east of Evergreen in Conecuh County
These storms are still moving toward the south, but not quite as fast as earlier.
Meanwhile, over the north half of the state, the dew point has dropped low enough to give a tiny hint of autumn in the air. It was in the mid 50s over much of the north. That compares to 65 to 70 dew points that we have had recently. The weather has cleared over the north. By morning, do not be surprised to hear of some upper 50s temperatures in the North Alabama valleys. I will go ahead and take a stab at it:
58 in Hamilton
57 in Valley Head
61 in Pinson
